@theilmatic @toddjmoss @CountCarbon - if both lines ended at 2004 eyeballs would say coal rise & poverty fall linked...
@MForstater, so let's take slowly: 1/3 Most dramatic drop (left) precedes coal: time series shows 1980s ag reform @toddjmoss @CountCarbon
@MForstater 2/3 1990s typefied by a combination of ag and manufacture productivity (more coal too), ongoing decline @toddjmoss @CountCarbon
@MForstater 3/3 poverty 1/5 by 1999, inflection point when coal consumption rockets at ever increasing rate @toddjmoss @CountCarbon
@MForstater I'm just not sure what you're saying here: biggest area under coal curve after extreme poverty decline. @toddjmoss @CountCarbon
@theilmatic @toddjmoss @CountCarbon ... and wonder what coal rise looks like against >$2, >$5/day and $10/day lines...?
@MForstater totally important point, i.e. some level of income eventually captures that coal consumption change @toddjmoss @CountCarbon
