A report published in Nature Climate Change claims carbon emissions fell drastically during COVID-19 related lockdowns. In order to meet goals set forth in The Paris Agreement, they say, a pandemic scaled lockdown would be needed once every two years in order to maintain “safe” temperature levels.
The lead author of the report, which was reviewed and summarized by The Guardian, argues that “we have failed to understand in the past that we can’t have tackling climate change as a side issue. It can’t be about one law or policy, it has to be put at the heart of all policy.”
More: Corinne Le Quéré, lead author of the study, said the world stood at a crucial point as governments poured money into the global economy to cope with the impacts of the pandemic. “We need a cut in emissions of about the size of the fall [from the lockdowns] every two years, but by completely different methods,” she said.

“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
Maybe it’s been debunked, but I’ll bet it will happen.
Or we could try floating climate scientists out to the Caribbean on Icebergs and see if we get the same results. I like my plan better.

If the half of the peeps on the Globe who believe in CAGW just off themselves, we’ll easily meet the targets.
No. Not even Paris ‘herself’ wants to keep on this way.
Despots want you in your cell, comrade.
But for how long each time? Given that someone like Klaus Schwab directed that statement, their plan is each lockdown cycle would also last 2 years.
The real truth for the lockdowns...
They couldn’t keep the truth secret ,LOL
No, I don’t think I’ll be playing along with that BS.
Time to 86 the scientists.
Insanity has become a fashionable status quo.
I would put scientists in quotes. These so called “scientists” are just as credible as Trofim Lysenko. And like Lysenko, the Party and its organs are backing and promoting these frauds.
The level of CO2 emission from human activity probably did drop as they say. But the CO2 level in the atmosphere as measured at Mauna Loa did not even blink. No measurable difference due to reduction in human activity. The gradual consistent increases in atmospheric CO2 is due to other causes. We have nothing to do with it.
A lockdown is needed once every two years?
...Is this the two-week flatten-the-curve type of lockdown?
or
...Is this the year-long lockdown these two weeks turned in to?
Volcanoes, forest fires, etc. cause more than humans.
But forget the fact that water vapor is the real greenhouse gas, not CO2. Can’t tax the oceans. Yet.
First control all means of production....
