By a few kilometres the coal that happens to be exported is mostly from BC. If the provincial border was slightly further west and the mines were in Alberta it might be a different narrative.

Depends on how you look at it. For example if we can reduce China's reliance on coal by converting to gas then GHC emissions go down. Developing our gas assets and LNG can do this.
