China + India = 2.864bn Not China or India = 5.244bn I think the characterization that a turning point has occurred is perfectly supportable. The article never even tried to say anything other than that it only just barely happened 11 minutes ago and a few metrics metrics don't show a clear past peak yet.

"The article" https://www.iea.org/reports/coal-2023/supply

was a few paragraphs summerising the global coal supply as a subsection of the IEA Coal 2023 report.

If you fell that detail was lacking you can look to either the executive summary

https://www.iea.org/reports/coal-2023/executive-summary

or download and read the full 130 page report (PDF) https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a72a7ffa-c5f2-4ed8-...

Whatever China and India do, their neighbors follow with impunity.

Your math might need adjusting for that.
