Gre and two lists: 1..This mainly to save others time (and wondering why eenews and similar usually find it hard to give the original cite).. The article is non-fee at: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2020GL091805#:~:text=The%20COVID%E2%80%9019%20pandemic%20changed%20emissions%20of%20gases%20and%20particulates.&text=COVID%E2%80%9019%20induced%20lockdowns%20led,the%20earth%20in%20spring%202020.

2. This is the first paragraph in the final section: > ”In this work we have estimated the effects of COVID‐19 affected > emissions changes in 2020.

So I conclude the results likely to be pretty accurate (besides the UCAR team has lots of experience). And this phenomenon makes our CDR job harder, not easier.
