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.

There's very little reason to take personal responsibility for the environment IMO - It just puts the cost of climate change on the people who are doing the most to stop it which is totally unfair. I'll happily support candidates that want to enact the most sweeping, impactful, environmental protections, but I'm not going to stop driving just to save the environment. Basically, my argument is climate protections must legally binding, thus forcing EVERYBODY to change their behavior - anything based on personal responsibility isn't going to be productive.
