You have the causality reversed.
In covid, the emissions dropped because economic activity slowed (to the tune of 3.4% gdp). The economy didn’t slow because we reduced emissions.
- missedthecue 5y agoThe causality actually doesn't matter to much for my argument. Less travel, manufacturing, and general production in 2020 was what caused both gdp and ghg emissions to drop. They are correlated. They both move in the same direction.
