on the other hand, lockdowns have reduced CO2 emissions in significant levels
The solution is not rooms with air-filtration-conditioning or whatever, there are natural processes for that, the long term solution I see is just a reduced economic activity like during lockdowns, focused on essential sectors (so not luxury, entertainment, ..)
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoA drop in emission rates for a couple months doesn't mean that 100-200 ppm of CO2 magically drops out of the atmosphere. Locally it might help cities a bit. But the backlog of CO2 to be removed to reach reasonable post-industrial levels (to say nothing of preindustrial) is tens of trillions of dollars if done artificially. The solution is EVs + alt energy, and to stop industrializing every possible arable acre for agriculture and switch to vertical farming.
