If anything I was more surprised at the lack of impact. Emissions only fell by around 6.4% https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00090-3 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00090-3

> COVID showed that (a lot of us ) really don't need to be commuting and flying all that much.

It showed me how precious travel and meeting people face to face and experiencing new cultures is. Based on current air travel statistics, I'm not alone.
