Satellite data from NASA show a significant drop in pollution levels over China after large parts of the country were shut down because of the coronavirus. WSJ explains how some analysts are tracking air quality to measure the economic impact of the epidemic.SYDNEY—The .
International travel restrictions and city lockdowns designed to slow the spread of coronavirus have led to swift and sometimes surprising environmental benefits. The long-term...
lara_lazar is it devine intervention? 2000 years ago it rained for 40 days and nights to rid the world of its over indulgences. Can’t wait to see the size of the ozone layer hole now and plastic PPE needs to change to cloth like it used to be.... planetreset
gotadepoder El coronavirus ha resultado más efectivo que Greta Thumberg en la limpieza del medio ambiente. Bravo!!!
Lowered fossil fuel emissions from factory chimneys and vehicle exhausts, which have resulted in cleaner air, are sanguine outcomes of the novel coronavirus lockdown. But they have to be traded-off against the economic negatives.
There's no reason to doubt any of this. (This includes you, too, conspiracy theorists!) If there is less influence going on, it only stands to reason there will be less effluence. Yin-and-yang...action-reaction............no-brainer.
Regular shut downs, until innovation succeeds, may be the best way to suppress climate change.
Mother Nature: To Humans, this is your one do over, sustainability is the way forward.
StayHome
Great! And if we stay at home long enough we will save the planet yet decimate the population because nobody will have a job to go back to....
Soylent Green is people! 😷
It is so clear here in SoCal
The waters in the canal in Venice have not cleared. I’m friends with a restaurant owner there on Instagram and he posts every single day. Water looks the same
MarceloJRicci Y eso que mundo, la naturaleza en particular, sólo bostezo, no me quiero imaginar di tose o estornuda.....
So WeAreTheVirus? Well, not really. 😋
undoubtedly,American economy affect serious decrease !
Huh...all without Al Gore or Greta 'How Dare You''s help...
Does that mean after the shit is over 3 days of quarantine per month so we can enjoy being outside?
How many degrees have we saved in the “global average temperature” 100 years from now? 😂
Uh, proving climate change then ISN’T man made?
This is an uncharacteristically semi negative headline for the usually optimistic please don’t turn into a Debbie-downer like the New York Times. 🙏🏼
Humans = parasites
Pictures like this are not uncommon during the raining season which is just now wrapping up.
But anybody like this!
the planet is angry
This has to be the fourth time you’ve posted about this article
Coal, gas and oil...!
wow! great news...
Humans are the single species whose disappearance would result in no loss to the ecosystems. What a terrible legacy.
space is fake. defund NASA researchflatearth
Good old days before Trump and his earth destruction short term cash based policies
Un respiro para el planeta
World should do lockdowns for 21 days every 3 months like Gandhi's Satyagrahas were to clean his intestines and lose weight...feels much better....narendramodi LOCKDOWN YOGA....PrannoyRoyNDTV nytimes Greenpeace
After all, HUMAM is the virus on earth, not this CORONA
Amazing what effects we notice in nature when we aren’t busy affecting it
Can we maybe start working from home more often after this?
Yet NYC subways are still filthy
🤩
Why doesn't China have green policies? They're poisoning the Earth
Funny how the environment adjusts so quickly...
Let’s talk more about China....
Guess we didn't kill the planet after all...Carry on
Maybe we can all go back to just taking Sunday off. Compromise.
Tens of millions of people forced into poverty and likely death. But the ones left will enjoy the pretty views.
And th earth became quiet.
Proof that there are too many people in the world...
Imagine a world powered by renewable energy... A world that looks more like this...
Silver lining?
And Tiny Tim can walk again!!
We don't need wealthy people in the world. There the blame. Rich is one thing, but wealth!?
Nature always wins.
shelbyholliday I lived in LA for years and never once saw it looking like that.
I am sure Almighty God Has a reason.
And Greta now needs to find a new scam.
Just wait for the end of this crisis then the 'system' will come back stronger than ever. When factories will reopen...this will be a huge hit in Earth's face and equilibrium
What's new about this?
You know what? I have nothing to complain about and i appreciate that simple fact. I am just content and perfectly fine. This phone really tries to ruin it for me tho
Working from home and electric vehicles are the answer. Also we need to establish solar panels on most homes with energy storage in the house.
But remember, it's not 'man made' climate change. 🙄
Mother Earth is very intelligent! Was she behind this worldwide pandemic?
A realistic outcome hopefully is more teleworking options.
Silver lining.
The blessing of this terrible pandemic tragedy. Hopefully this spurs greater electric vehicle innovations - there is no reason why cars should be fueled by gas.
heal the world
Wait....... So 1 single month of lockdown has cleaned things up that much? Gretta is fucking done.
The irony... liberals are globalists and their agenda has caused unprecedented pollution by way of outsourcing. What a bunch of buffoons.
Yes, this will be seized upon by climate change activists and there will be a movement to allow people that can work from home to work from home - accountants, lawyers, financial analysts, etc. can all work from home with ease, e.g.
Nope, this is not good at all. People are dying in exchange for this.
So.......what say you now, naysayers of ClimateChange ?
Maybe this virus is nature’s way of shrugging is off.
The virus is the Green New Deal from nature.
Air is clear here in LA...stunning...smog gone.
Greta was a bioterrorist who unleashed pandemic to save planet even if it meant a lot of lives. She is basically thanks. -some right wing nut
And trees will grow on highway!!!
And people are miserable.
Earth without humans Day 21
Can we now leave cows alone?
Did all of the cows die?
Just goes to show the greatest impact on the environment is too many people on the planet.
So, if only we could eradicate these pesky humans or find a way to impoverish 90% of the world’s population by driving it back to the Stone Age, we can finally fix the planet!!
I hope we as a society continue working from home if possible long after the virus
So What we were doing wasn’t a big deal if it only took a couple weeks to reverse the damage then?
Just wait....when all the is over and everything is back online and trumps enviro changes happen.....climate deniers will forget!
There is always a silver lining. With planning, parts of it can become permanent.
GretaThunberg must be happy right about now...
This is only an intermission...we will be right back with our regularly scheduled daily demolition of earth soon...
It’s not made by human,it’s made by competition between humans.
Greta is out of work now
So... it’s not the cow farts? Good news!
And by the way people are dying too…
But will LA still have spectacular sunsets that everyone posts?
Most of America was clean to begin with. So this time make sure any pollution initiatives stay local to their environment. This is an urban issue. No nationwide climate change world is ending bullshit this time.
Yes and soon they will start polluting again. This should be an opportunity to innovate in a more clean industry
trump is finally doing something about climate change.
aboallaltalbi29 Yet realDonaldTrump and GOP will still pretend climate change isn't man made
Motet nature saying soemthin
We
Never was, never will be the cows
Meanwhile, the climate continues to 'Change'.
Yeah. And the animals are coming to the city. We know we read faity takes too...
😱
Lockdowns end too. Soon enough things will be back to 'normal', sadly.
So going back to how it was before would be a deliberate act of self-harm.
And the Cow still Farting. Haha. Vegan.
The only thing we could possibly call positive about this virus is that with no traffic the skies are clearing, the water is cleaner etc., which gives us a vision for the future if we attend to our environment via electric cars, wind and solar power etc., so let's get on with it.
So...cows have nothing to do with it. Who woulda’ thunk it!
It’s sad the comments on the website are all “This is what the Green New Deal would do to the country - are you happy, Dems!? Travel will cease! The world will collapse!” They are the very definition of not seeing the forest for the trees - pun fully intended.
It is sad that all pre-existing wildlife/nature will have to be wiped out to and pay for humanitys sins once this planet shakes us off like fleas, or vaporizes us, or Floods/Freeze us. We're doing great folks
...yet police chases in SoCal go on like clockwork.....Denlesks
So this is the silver lining! CLEAN AIR AND WATER!!
That’s need the world. For low human population and clean nature! Fabric settings
President Trump is amazing.
COVID 19 provided a respite to the world. It highlits how much more hard green technologies must work in order to prove their worth if we want to make green growth possible
breathe, breathe in the air don’t be afraid to care leave but don't leave me look around, choose your own ground for long you live and high you fly and smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry and all your touch and all you see is all your life will ever be
It shouldn't take a pandemic and an induced economic coma to make this happen. Imagine a world run on renewable energy.
Kind of a waste of an article. Venice canals are not from pollution just clouded from churn. Also, experts agree this will all have little to no effect in helping reverse the damage already done
Thier plan worked! G.D. extreme lefties green new deal asshats! The only way to 'clean' Mother Earth was to release a virus onto the World then have mass quarantines?! Wow. GreenNewDeal DeepState COVID19 Trump
So I really would like to know what the gob will do after this pandemic to maintain that amazing sky We must change our habits
India's coronavirus lockdown is having a dramatic effect on pollution.
How many times are you going to tweet the same article ?
keep your family immune system strong.--
‘Why did you come to America? ’ ‘I'll learn your brainwashing techniques.’ ‘Bullshit, we' re liberal democracies. There's no brainwashing !’ ‘That's exactly what I want to learn!’
It would appear that Agent Smith from the Matrix was correct.
So human-made pollution is pretty serious. Huh. Who would have thought that to be true except for every climate scientist on the planet.
Wow.
The Venice thing is BS. It was clouded from churn, not pollution. Come on guys, do better.
We are Mother Earth's virus.
yeah, well this will be the real disaster, while the nature almost came to an end, this epidemic could at least be the path to a human-nature emerged new world, im even almost in a belief that nature is fighting back.
Fucking fake news
Really because a friend of mine who owns a restaurant on the canal in Venice sends pictures every day and there’s absolutely no change at all to the water

聊个洛杉矶，还是不忘记带上中国，你洛杉矶时报是有多爱中国啊。。。唉。我们已经复工了，开始，慢慢滴要恢复了，中国处于发展阶段，是个发展中国家，不是人均GDP好几万美元的国家，我们总量大是因为人多，万一美国人不知道，科普一下。哈哈。
It’s a sign! Let’s change the world!
Mother natures way of sending a message.
So, Life After Man
Its all fake news, right?
Compare before and after pictures. This picture you provided doesn’t show what the differences are between a polluted and clean atmosphere.
We never say “U.S. is the real sick man of Americas” WSJ said “China is the real sick man of Asia” when COVID-19 spread in China 2 months ago
Yes, of course, because human activity has no impact on the global ecosystem. Right Republicans?
yes and your paper newspaper is still wrapping the fish.
Then let’s keep these places locked down while America gets back to work.
And if you look carefully,you can even see trillions 💸 flying away from earth into outer space...so clearly!! :)))
so gret thunberg not going out in public helped. great!
Let’s find a way to maintain some of this and further improve!
Glass 1/2 full
Cool.
Green new deal propaganda? Just close it all down. Probably tell big box stores to start selling seeds and gardening equipment again. You can't have it both ways.
The left will claim Covid-19 is reason that climate change doesn’t wipe us out inside a decade. Convenient.
Global warming is a hoax.
Bullshit. More media lies
Que siga así deberá el mundo necesita libertad
My 401k has gotten so low you can see that financial crater from space too.
Wow!
davidfrum Everyone: Hmmm...It's clear fossil fuels are pretty bad for the environment, and therefore, all of us. Maybe we should really push for more renewable energy. ImPOTUS and hte GOP: We must save the fossil fuel industry! Lower the pollution standards! More subsidies!
Mother nature wins...
WOW
A leftist utopia always ends with us all dead and nature taking over
No chemicals and drama as well. Lockdown behaviors.
Now there can be no doubt that climate change and its symptoms are caused by Human activity.
U see, is a GOOD thing if some of US say GOOD BYE. Too bad is NOT going to be sufficient to reap the benefits in the near future. We'll ALL come back to screw Planet Earth in the butt. To all those Climate Change enthusiasts: SORRY! We're coming back 🖕
Wow that will work ! All we have to do is kill hundreds of thousands of people and close millions of business and shut down the world economy for 1/4 of a year ! Sounds like a great climate change plan !!! Call the UN at once !!
It is time to maintain that change! It is time to come together as a species and put aside our differences and bring forth a new beginning for all.
Clear skies are signs of Economic Depression. Truly amazing
Celebrating the end of civilization.
So the virus is saving the earth for future generations. What humanity won't solve, nature will. Let that be a lesson of humility.
China's been lying through their teeth about their pollution which is so massive it blankets Korea and has been for decades. ROK got so desperate it offered to plant millions of trees in China but China's always been like, What smog? Smog yours not ours. China is fucking cancer
davidfrum Holy cow!
davidfrum Maybe we should institute a 2 day a month stoppage after this is all over.
Maybe corona is a gift
Don’t forget the dinosaurs that have come back in Mexico
othersideofcorona
Bad versus good...is it humans versus virus...or virus versus humans...maybe it’s a message...
davidfrum I guess this was an involuntary Green New Deal...AOC
*Air is so clear that I can see Modiji becoming Prime Minister of India once again in 2024*
So to clear the air all we must do is shut down the economy, get 20% unemployment, send out some checks and add 2 trillion to our debt? Sure, let's do it once a month.
davidfrum And once we're through this, in whatever fashion that may be, it'll go right back to what it was. Because economy and productivity, yo.
Gods way of saying; STRAIGHTEN THE F CK UP PEOPLE!
A silver lining...
Many are worried that a dramatic reduction in CO2 will not affect the Climate and years of Hoax have been for nought.
Green New Deal crazies will be using this as ammunition.
ANNELAMOTT Thanos is a fictional character right?
Then it will have been all for nothing. We should learn something from this. Make things differently.
Maybe climate change = BS, but it's about the pollution. Worth examining however you feel. USA oil is facing tough times, time to give CleanEnergy serious consideration in the US. 🇺🇲😷
Very cool rest the earth
davidfrum I believe this is exculpatory evidence that cow burps and farts aren’t the problem.
But does anybody give a shit?
davemcclure mother nature is thanking covid19 right now
davidfrum Great news! If we bankrupt our economies abs all starve to death we can lower emissions!!!!
davidfrum Remarkable, that a serious PANDEMIC shows how we are destroying our planet. Perhaps systematic periodic “world shutdowns” could ease the affects of our human induced climatic changes, if only just a little, while we with the help of science, figure out how we can go GREENER!
davidfrum Mother Nature is telling us... Enough us Enough !!! Let trump try to throw her under the bus...
The master plan is working.........hahahaaaaaa said our evil 1%er's....................
davidfrum And everyone rushing to get us back to all of that
davidfrum The smog lifted when they put regulations to limit auto emissions in place thirty years ago. Nice that it’s super clear now, but really not worth an apocalypse.
MarcoDaCostaFX Qué pasa si cerramos el mundo cada año y medio? En 15 años no curaríamos el planeta? Tanto ambientalista y tanto gasto, sin resultados.
davidfrum Yet this makes Hitler Trump mad so he’s lifting emission controls.
OMG, so now you pray for COVID 19 to be here forever to reduce emissions?
Just imagine how clean the air will be if we go back to the Stone Age!
Greta the Witch ☝️
This picture of this period shows how we choose to create pollution and what is possible with choices. Also, please don't share beautiful pictures of LA without showing people living outside we need housing before more migrants move to this city.
Also trafficking of drugs and people has reached a low. Same w illegal entry. Silver linings.
And we lose our economy,people commit suicide because they lose their homes and jobs but the UBER elite of this world who built their fortunes on the backs of people can look at pictures from space Get a Fucking GRIP wsj BBCWorld realDonaldTrump Trump2020 get us back to work
I've noticed my seasonal allergies have diminished greatly. The pollen didn't stop, so I can only surmise that the smog & pollution made the allergies far worse than pollen alone. Seen from space.. wow it's like the planet wanted a deep cleaning & CoV-SARS-2, CoVid-19 fixes that.
Not being able to shift our economies to a pollution-free entity is a failure of imagination. Look at what we a missing.
So in only two weeks the environment bounces back. Awesome news.
that is good to know! So my theorising that World population needs reducing by 70% could be put on hold if everybody stays indoors and doesn’t buy anything. Thanks for the research, much appreciated
GretaThunberg ... More evidence.
Is the price we are paying for clean canals worth it?
davidfrum Lets NOT start up the same gasworks again, please, World?
We need to reset our manufacturing methods to reduce pollution by 90%. It can be done firstly by using electric motors and green energy.
davidfrum And we in the Netherlands can see Venus aligning with the Pleiades for the first time in living memory
5 G, not climate change, will kill us first
davidfrum
love nature
davidfrum So Thanos was the good guy?
Maybe people should start walking to work
Are those environmental activists happy now? Are those minds manipulating Greta to pull a climate-change puppet show satisfied now?
More electric cars please
Some food for thought.
And everyone will soon face financial ruin. Point?
The lockdown is obviously reversing climate change. GRADUALLY!
coronavirus is mother earth's way of fighting man made global warming
Well we've found a way to combat climate change.
Misleading titles, the cleansing of canals are because trafic isn’t stirring up mud on bottom. They say it is actually bad for the fish.
So Dems are rejoicing the virus?
I think the world needs more virus.
That’s beautiful and all but Problem is though that people are still dying 😞
Stay humble. Stay driven. Focus on your goals. Take action every day. You’ve got one life. Make the most of it.
