The pandemic is a cataclysmic event so big and disruptive that it can be measured in the planetary metrics of climate change. As many as 2.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, about 8% of the estimated total for the year, will never be emitted into the atmosphere, according to estimates by the International Energy Agency. Pick any world-shaking event from 20th century history\u2014none has produced a bigger decrease in emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\nREAD MORE <\/i><\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>

Restoration ecologist Karen Holl explains why it’s not that simple<\/span>. <\/b>Last year there was some very encouraging <\/span>r<\/span>esearch<\/span> that found there is room for an extra 0.9 billion hectares of canopy cover which could store 205 gigatonnes of carbon.

\n\n \n

Oceans are likely to rise as much as 1.3 metres by 2100 if Earth’s surface warms another 3.5 degrees Celsius, scientists warned. By 2300, when ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland will have shed trillions of tonnes in mass, sea levels could go up by more than five metres under that temperature scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\nREAD MORE <\/i><\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>
