Comment: "It's really annoying how those damn social democracies in Scandinavia keep outperforming everybody at everything", your exact words above. You seems to not have very firm political morals and principals jumping and moving as the debate changes. This is an article by Ivo on the conference just ended in Durban and their scheme for the world's poor etc. He takes it apart and you somehow have meandered everywhere (especially into your socialist vs capitalist topic, are you not tired of it by now?) except answering specifically his points, good or bad. Your last line sums up you confusion. So USA coal killls 200k people a year (zero facts/figurs/explanations etc) and presumably the other coal countries (bigger and smaller plus SA) coal does not kill people?. Stick to articles subject and keep consistent. 
How many people does SA's coal industry kill per year and what are you doing abvout it?
