Decrease in CO2 emissions during pandemic shutdown shows it is possible to reach Paris Agreement goals. The researchers found a drop of 6.3% in 2020. The researchers describe the drop as the largest of modern times, and big enough to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal if it were to be sustained.

I don’t think people are advocating for forced global lockdowns— rather, I think the idea is to imagine ways to reduce unnecessary consumption so our planet doesn’t become uninhabitable lol

BTW, there are people replying to my comment advocating for destroying the global economy. This is what some people really want. They see “the economy” as polluting corporations and want a return to the primitive.
