The global response to COVIED-19 had virtually no effect on the causes of climate change, according to a new large report.
Although carbon dioxide emissions dropped significantly during quarantine, the concentration of long - lived gases in the atmosphere continued to rise.
According to study” United in Science “, 2016 through 2020 is probably the warmest five-year period since the beginning of measurement.
The authors of the study claim that the irreversible impact of climate change is increasing.
Numerous experts from a large number of international organisations, including UN and the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), participated in preparing the report, which provides a new mirror of climate change situation.
The study shows that quarantines worldwide had an important and immediate effect on greenhouse gas emissions with a decline in weighted daily values in April 2020 by 17 percent compared to a year ago.
