It was a comparison of a country that isn’t giving up on coal (at least under the current administration) and one which is. The one which is has virtually no reserves so little to lose.
What’s next, countries at peace ban landmines until there is a risk of invasion?
No, I assume what’s next is that countries which have slightly more coal reserves than Ireland will be next, and so on.
I mean, if the headline was “Rising sea levels cause flooding in Ireland”, you wouldn’t say “big deal, wake me when the flooding reaches Nepal”. Of course there’s going to be an order to such things.
