Pints; re that article and the graphic - no dates, no references to official sources and no supporting documentation, making it yet another opinionated scare campaign.
Even if it has an iota of fact to it, you're welcome to live in China or India:
. Check out how far you can see through the coal-smog air.
. Breathe in all that muck as deeply as you would a B&H cigarette.
. Wonder at the lovely red sunsets and sunrises.
. Look forward to what your future will be like once all of those additional coal-fired power stations are built.
. Dream about what you're going to do to address the increasing flood problems in South Asia, the bushfires in Canada, the increasingly severe hurricanes impacting the US Gulf Region and Mexico.
Nuclear armed India is emerging as the filthiest nation on Earth and with population increase running amok probably the World's greatest problem.
As for China, PDYOR and undertake a reality check - tight population growth controls, the Three Gorges Dam, massive investment in wind and solar, redesign of urban areas and transport including a planned 4,000km/h magnetic levitation pod train network and world best metro transit systems.
Only very, very stupid countries are planning a future based on coal-fired power stations.

All your exclusive opinion Lappy.
In your opinion those countries desperate for short to medium term base load energy requirements to provide for their population's suvival such as Japan, China, India and others around the underdeveloped world are "stupid". And you're not ?!
