While the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues to threaten millions of lives around the world, the first half of 2020 saw an unprecedented decline in CO2 emissions -- larger than during the financial crisis of 2008, the oil crisis of the 1979, or even World War II. An international team of researchers has found that in the first six months of this year, 8.8 percent less carbon dioxide was emitted than in the same period in 2019 -- a total decrease of 1551 million tonnes. The groundbreaking study not only offers a much more precise look at COVID-19's impact on global energy consumption than previous analyses. It also suggests what fundamental steps could be taken to stabilize the global climate in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Plants everywhere are NOT happy about this.
So if we kill off 200,000 people in the USA alone, we can solve the climate problem?
Okay...take a deep breath....now exhale....but only in your home....and wear a mask....till you’re choking on your own co2.
What a bunch of BS! What about massive CA and Brazil fires???
Did they use masks too???
Those scientwists should be locked up for falsifying data.
We could drop the carbon dioxide levels even further if we could stop the Rats from breathing.
So, is 2020 the hottest year ever or not?
We have an electronic billboard outside the town I live in. About 2 months age they were rotating an ad with wording to the effect of “Will CO2 emissions stay down after Covid-19 is over?”. Someone wants us to never come out of lockdown.
“So if we kill off 200,000 people in the USA alone, we can solve the climate problem?”
You will have to add about 3 zeros to that to make them happy.
I wasn’t aware that 200,000 people could exhale that much carbon dioxide.
CO2 = FOOD (for plants and trees) More FOOD for US!
If we didn’t have CO2 and plants, we wouldn’t have free O2
CO2 has nothing to do with temperature.
Oh my Lordy, wes gonna freezzzze dis winter.
Liberals were citing “the planet is healing” early on to justify the lockdowns and continuing such limits on activity forever.
Can democracy survive climate change?
To face the invisible enemy, experts say there might be a need for “sweeping powers.”

And ALL of the previous data show that CO2 is a lagging indicator. That means CO2 was declining BEFORE CoVid began
So, that means we’re all locked up and out of work now for...forever!
But we’ll have clean air to breathe - through our masks!
LIBERATE WISCONSIN! LIBERATE AMERICA!
