A brief but deep plunge in CO2 emissions due to COVID-19 highlights how tough it will be to meet Paris Agreement targets. sciencenews.org/article/coro…
Daily global CO₂ emissions dropped dramatically as COVID-19 kept people home

Daily global CO₂ emissions dropped dramatically as COVID-19 kept people home

Daily carbon dioxide emissions in early April were 17 percent lower than average daily emissions for 2019, thanks to government policies to restrict the spread of the coronavirus.
