Going vegan?

Remember your photosynthesis equation:
CO2+H2O+Sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2

No, EB. You remember it lol.

I really enjoyed chemistry but that was back when the Beatles were fab.

A few weeks may not have that much effect after a century of non-stop emissions that only increased over time.

It's like a chainsmoker asking why his lungs aren't better after not smoking all morning.

Ball Park Number: The average human outputs 0.9 kg CO2 per day per person.

0.9 kg/(day*person)*8*10^9 person*365 day/year = 2.6*10^12 kg CO2/year

If global warming is going to destroy us and kill 100's of million, why not just let the people die from COVID who are doing all this senseless breathing?

So there needs to be how many trees per person to combat the CO2 crises?

And? Not all countries began their lockdowns at the same time as China. Even then, not all of China was in lockdown, only Wuhan at first. So your statement is misleading.

On 9 March 2020, the government of Italy under Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte imposed a national quarantine.

8 weeks. No drop an increase, only.

The pandemic has resulted in the largest amount of shutdowns/lockdowns worldwide at the same time in history.[citation needed] By 26 March, 1.7 billion people worldwide were under some form of lockdown, which increased to 3.9 billion people by the first week of April — more than half of the world's population.

It doesn't have to be much to [see] this concern I am required by science to care so much about.

But the facts are currently saying the concern is fake news as it hasn't decreased but increased when it's not supposed to is it?-->

Because carbon emmisions haven't stopped they've only slowed down. CO2 is still being added, just at a slower rate than normal.

It's not hard.

This map shows the CO2 readings at Mauna Loa since 2016.

Can we see a change in CO2 record because of COVID-19?--->
