I find headlines like this problematic. Yes, NO2 and CO2 levels are decreasing, but they will return back to previous levels as soon as possible or maybe even increase. [1]
The problem is, that due to headlines like this, the general population will believe, that our world can reduce C02 simply as soon as it will be necessary due to climate change. But then, it will probably already be too late.
We humans have a hard time coping with slow processes, which applies to things like corona virus and climate change alike.
