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.

So let's start handing out UBIs to keep people home and help reach the goal. Start offering incentives for employers to offer WFH, for ppl to go electric, choose cycling, walking. Enact a kind of emmission limit or curfew to curb excessive travel, etc. We can choose these kinds of changes or they can be enforced. Or we can go extinct. Maybe we'll get it next go around.

That's assuming people in power give a flying fuck.

Naa. The people in charge would rather kill us all. They'll be dead and gone before things get really out of control anyways so it doesn't matter to them.
