Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Covid-19 paused climate emissions – but they’re rising again
It has been about a year since the pandemic was declared by the WHO. Many cities were locked down, cars were parked, and airplanes were grounded. So, you might expect greenhouse gas emissions must have been reduced as much as our business and social activities suffered. Not much. Even though there had been some drop in CO2 emissions during the first lockdown, a steady growth in global emissions was monitored during the second half of 2020. This emission recovery was again observed after even a smaller dip during the second wave in late last year-early 2021. It seems that the pandemic, or a short-term human activity break, doesn’t halt the long-term effects of global warming. So, what needs to be learned is the world shouldn’t forget or postpone the commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under any circumstances. If the actions are delayed, more emissions will have to be reduced.
Enjoy reading the article and learn how little the pandemic has helped to slow global warming.
