From skimming this article's abstract[1] emissions went down 8-17% in April 2020. It doesn't say how much the GDP went down by. Lots of people lost jobs in April. But only 6 months later we had the tightest labor market in decades, so swings and roundabouts.
It isn't a binary choice between stopping all economic activity and 100% renewables and nuclear. There is a range of choices and priorities.
For instance, what would we really lose by eliminating private jets, super yachts, and cruise ships tomorrow?
