CO2 emissions record drop during pandemics (Scientific American)
May 20<sup>th</sup>, 2020
"Scientists sought to reject claims that emissions reductions from COVID-19 are a silver lining. The magnitude of reductions has to be similar but to persist over time and can’t be as disruptive" said Steven Davis, U. California, Irvine
Emissions drop during pandemic, an unexpected challenge (The Hill)
May 14<sup>th</sup>, 2020
"The 9 percent drop cited in the IEA report would put the U.S. on track to meet its Paris climate accord goals, but only if it kept that up beyond 2020. 'We’d need to do it year after year " said Steven Davis, from U. California, Irvine.”
