Pandemic emissions drop signals chance to reshape climate fight
A Global Carbon Project report shows a 7 percent drop in global CO2 emissions in 2020 due to pandemic lockdowns, the largest fall in 75 years, but it is temporary. Researchers urge using stimulus to fund clean energy, reduce car and truck emissions, and keep climate front and center in policy debates, noting sustained cuts require annual reductions of about 7.6 percent through 2030.
