Well, it could have slowed down because capitalism bad!

Climate global warning change is a fraud to push socialism on the masses. All lies denying actual science. But you have to actually know what science is to know that.

The carbon cycle is indeed a critical component of life on earth. But you’re drawing the wrong conclusions.

There’s no danger of atmospheric carbon concentrations falling below what you’ve indicated. The danger is that the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases we’re artificially adding to the atmosphere will overwhelm nature’s ability to absorb it and lead to escalating temperatures.

Which is exactly what scientists have been observing for the past few decades.

For some actual science follow the link:

You don't need to waste time with your colorful illustrations and glowing repetitions of what a pandemic consists of. I am not going to waste time telling you how we have precise figures on world wide oil production and consumption and that calculating that use at the highest rate of CO2 emissions per barrel we have added 8 ppm of which "experts" tell us plant life rejects in favor of natural CO2, so it's with us forever and ever. I'm not going to waste time explaining how we know that during the greatest explosion of life on earth, CO2 was over 2500 ppm. I'm not going to tell you that warming is not the enemy of life- cold is. I'm not going to explain that I was responsible for testing ppm of CO2 and that the catastrophic 400 ppm we are supposed to be at right now is insignificant. I'm not going to draw a picture of powerful reflectors on the CO2 bouncing heat back to the planet in a loop characterized by the word "forcing". Yet those same powerful reflectors somehow are transparent to solar heat and don't reflect and equal amount of heat back into space. I'm not going to keep going on with this line of dogmatic propaganda, I have been debating this for decades.
I will say, that you and millions of others have bought a lie purported to be the finest science. Test your theories, that's real science. when you use every science the mask falls off quickly. Then look up Fabian Society and read about their grand plan decades ago to dumb down our society and incrementally force socialism on the world. But you won't, you already know everything. Yup, right. I've done my homework, maybe you should do a little more with a slightly skeptical bent.

CO2 emissions have fallen a ton during this pandemic as a result of reduced industrial activity, airplanes staying grounded, people working from home, etc.

"In China, the first country to lock down, greenhouse gas emissions dropped an estimated 25% in February as factories and industrial producers slowed output. That decreased coal burning, which has come back slowly since then."

This is not a permanent solution to the climate change problem by any means -- clean energy and sustainable capitalism is -- but it does show that achieving rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions is possible if we have the willpower to do it.

But I'm not all that hopeful, because global warming is a slow-moving emergency that doesn't carry the same urgency as a viral pandemic.

And terrible pandemic? When the US hits 50,000 deaths that means 15/100ths of 1% of our population has died from it and we have almost 1/2 the world's cases, hardly a pandemic- again taste the socialism because this isn't based on real science of pandemics.

It's been declared a pandemic by the WHO, multiple countries, Trump's medical experts, and Trump himself:

"'I’ve always known this is a real—this is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic,' Trump declared."

(That was Trump covering his ass after-the-fact as usual, but at least he finally did acknowledge it.)

So when you try to characterize Covid-19 as something other than a "pandemic," you're just not acknowledging reality.

When it comes to the death toll, we have our projections, but the truth is no one really knows when this pandemic will end or how many it will kill before it does. If we manage to get out of this without too many people dying -- and I hope we do -- it will be because our mitigation efforts worked and our medical personnel and scientists did a heroic job. Not because we downplayed it.
