It seems the International Energy Agency forgot to research how much of this drop is due to the increased use of the home office!
One can also safely assume that the Covid-19 restrictions that are still imposed by so many Western countries serve predominantly to avoid CO2 emissions! What a scandal! The return to prepandemic normal is long overdue (since January or latest March of 2021)!
Since home office work, thereby reducing the daily commute and CO2 emmissions, is here to stay, the hysteric demagoguery about 2 degrees Celsius, Global Warmign hoax, Climate Change religion is even more ridiculous!
"... As primary energy demand dropped nearly 4% in 2020, global energy-related CO2 emissions fell by 5.8% according to the latest statistical data, the largest annual percentage decline since World War II. In absolute terms, the decline in emissions of almost 2 000 million tonnes of CO2 is without precedent in human history – broadly speaking, this is the equivalent of removing all of the European Union’s emissions from the global total.... A common theme across all economies is the scale of the impact of the pandemic and lockdown measures on transport activity. The decline in CO2 emissions from oil use in the transport sector accounted for well over 50% of the total global drop in CO2 emissions in 2020, with restrictions on movement at local and international levels leading to a near 1 100 Mt drop in emissions from the sector, down almost 14% from 2019 levels."
