A world wide pandemic and lockdown might as well be what saves the planet from further warming.. or at least bide us some time.
Unlikely. The COVID lockdowns only decreased carbon emissions ~8%.
A 30% mortality rate would probably do a lot more than that over the long term. Especially if it’s the coal rolling dude bros who get it from raw milk.
Plus it was an 8% reduction we never would have gotten otherwise. I’ll take it!
