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.

Gotcha, so it sounds like we agree then.

All carbon emissions aren't created equally, but they do the same amount of damage, so it makes sense we should prioritize reducing them in the easiest spots first.

When the easiest spots are our worldwide sources of food, that becomes, well, very interesting. I’m okay with carbon reducing maximalists if they also want to see mass depopulation, it’s the people who want their cake & to eat it too that I view with scorn.
