As time goes by on the shutdown, observing the resultant change in CO2 is an interesting empirical world experiment.While it is still early days, the earth response has so far been underwhelming.

To the eco-religious - not an attack on your religion just an interesting look at the data and one scientists take on it.

Summary:Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) continue to increase with no sign of the global economic slowdown in response to the spread of COVID-19. This is because the estimated reductions in CO2 emissions (around -11% globally during 2020) is too small a reduction to be noticed against a background of large natural variability. The reduction in economic activity would have to be 4 times larger than 11% to halt the rise in atmospheric CO2.
