"If the 7% drop in emissions caused by the pandemic proves an isolated event rather than the beginning of a major trend, the episode will prevent only .01C (0.018F) of warming by the year 2050, the UN report found."

"Last year’s UN 'emissions gap' report found humans need to cut emissions by pandemic amounts (7.6%) every year to meet the Paris climate goals. That is nowhere near to becoming a reality."
“Are we on track to bridging the gap? Absolutely not,” the new report bluntly states.

Nutty UN chief:
"To put it simply, the state of the planet is broken. Humanity is waging war on nature. This is suicidal. Nature always strikes back, and it is already doing so with growing force and fury."

Climate activist:
"We worry about the recovery being K-shaped."
Me:
I worry about the recovery being C-shaped…. C as in 'communist.'

Chart showing the futility of climate agreements to slow CO2 rise:
Climate activist Eric Holthaus said on April 22, 2020, about the impact of lockdowns on global CO2 emissions: “This is roughly the same pace that the IPCC says we need to sustain every year until 2030 to be on pace to limit global warming to 1.5C and hit the Paris climate goals. This is what ‘rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society’ looks like.”
“The only way that a 2015 agreement can achieve a 2-degree goal is to shut down the whole global economy,” Yvo de Boer, former UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) executive secretary said in 2013.
Yvo de Boer’s words sound prophetic when compared to the comments of climate campaigners in 2020 excited about the impact of the COVID lockdowns.
