Lockdowns to have 'negligible' effect on climate crisis: Study

The drop in emissions due to the coronavirus-induced lockdowns will have a "negligible" impact on the climate crisis, a study by University of Leeds found. Even if restrictions were to continue until the end of 2021, this would only "save 0.01°C" of warming by 2030. The analysed data covered 123 countries that are together responsible for 99% of global emissions.
