Delve into the intricate relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on climate change as we engage in a thought-provoking conversation with a distinguished NASA scientist. Gain valuable insights into how the global response to the pandemic may have influenced various aspects of our planet's climate systems. Join us for a comprehensive exploration of this timely and significant topic, shedding light on the complex interplay between human activities, environmental dynamics, and the broader implications for our world's future.

Greenhouse gas emissions decreased a little during the first year of COVID, but not enough to make a lasting impact.

Less travel and cars on the road meant improved air quality. But greenhouse gases that cause climate change only decreased a little because we were still heating and cooling our homes, so these gases continued to build up in our atmosphere. NASA climate change scientist Lesley Ott tells us more about what scientists discovered.
