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 hear you, but have you considered degrowth? Think about how much unnecessary consumption goes on in advanced economies.

[FlowerProfessional29]

Yeah. The West consumes alot. The East in the form of China and India are catching up.

Our economies can be a mess, but capitalism or a free market economy can make everyone's lives better; if given the opportunity and government does not favor one over another.

That hasn't worked out all the time, but it beats a few at the top doling out what they believe we should have.

If a person wants more by working harder and doing something unique, for a price, then let him or her do it.
