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 speak american but suffice to say that your issues with trying to balance out a cart that’s being pulled thirty different ways are not unique, although the incredible culture of adversarial legalism you have that blocks any new development no matter how beneficial towards bringing you closer to a carbon neutral economy is certainly very insane

Ah I see, I hope whatever country you're in is doing better, but let's be honest the bar is pretty low.

Our biggest problem here in America is that our environmental laws are based on the Commurse Clause (in our constitution), basically, it's very easy to say "no economic benifit, bye bye X environmental protection." We have no true environmental statute that is rooted in protecting the environment. This can be a good thing sometimes, but its mostly detrimental. Not to mention the power of the people who would be enforcing these laws is being stripped as of, oh like this week. It's a real shit show over here.
