Pandemic had no effect on emissions

Absolute nonsense and lies. There are sooo many photos of cities without pollution for the first time. Some of them showing Mt Everest or the Himalayan Mountains from like 20 miles away which is a first since the industrial revolution. It absolutely DID impact emmissions.

The coronavirus pandemic made the accelerating impacts of global heating even worse for millions of people

lulwut? Someone contradictory much?

This "article" complete nonsense and lies.

The pandemic shut so many things down it was almost horrifying, no driving, nothing much of anything.... and the problems increased.

This says one of two things, maybe both since they're not mutually exclusive:

  1. The climate change issue is not driven by humanity
  2. The changes are already in a feedback loop and we can't do anything about it.

In either case, Trump was doing the right thing by eliminating restrictions caused by reducing pollution in order to fortify the US's position globally and increase our reserves, strengthen military positions, and industries.

Climate doomers have nearly religious beliefs about all this, and it isn't based on an unbiased examination of the data. When a topic becomes so politicized like this, it becomes nearly impossible for science to make progress and solve problems. Ironically, people like Greta et al are undermining their own cause by making everyone look at this like "crazy doomers" vs "crazy science deniers". Most people realize their isn't any point trying to mediate that. It becomes very difficult to find any common ground and truth when the discourse is like this.

Once again, the hyperbolic and selfish media and social media destroy and poison everything.

Have you conducted an unbiased examination of the data? It's possible that an unbiased examination of the data could justify a 'climate doomer' perspective.

Science doesn't care about the Overton window.

You're misrepresenting the data

Pandemic had no effect on emissions (you)

vs

The temporary dip in carbon emissions due to lockdowns had no discernible impact on atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (article)

It's worth reading the article.
