We Asked a NASA Scientist: Has COVID Affected Climate Change? — Has COVID affected climate c |
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant decrease in air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, but its impact on climate change was minimal. Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions were only about 5 to 10% due to the continued operation of power plants for heating and cooling. Despite slight decreases, greenhouse gases continued to accumulate in the atmosphere, emphasizing the necessity of ongoing emission reduction efforts.
But when we started looking more at greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, the gases that stay in the atmosphere a really long time and caused climate change, we saw that the decreases were much more subtle, more on the order of 5 to 10%.
