If you are forced to fly, you will find the number of flights appear to be fewer, and most of the flights are still jammed full - because it is a smaller airframe with fewer seats.

So, yes, there may be less #GHG #emissions over-all. And it certainly appears there are fewer planes (or smaller) in the air. Boeing is having corporations refusing deliveries, apparently, though that may be for other reasons…

"The home-wrecking storms and floods that swept #Europe last year affected 413,000 people, a report has found, as fossil fuel pollution forced the continent to suffer through its hottest year on record.

Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average but has cut its planet-heating pollution faster than other big economies. The EU plans to hit net zero #emissions by 2050, and is expected to also announce a net 90% reduction target for 2040 later this year."

Companies will still face pressure to manage for climate change, even as government rolls back US climate policy

As the federal government moves to eliminate U.S. #climate rules, companies still face pressure to be better stewards of the planet from their customers, investors, employees, local communities, lenders, insurers, global trading partners and many states.

Each of those groups knows it will face increasing costs from rising temperatures and #ExtremeWeather if corporations don't rein in their #GreenhouseGas #emissions.

Many companies will find that returning to past polluting ways isn't in their best interest. Over 60% of chief financial officers surveyed by global management firm #Kearney in December 2024 signaled that they intended to invest at least 2% of their revenue in #sustainability in 2025.

In a historic first, in #US in #2024, #wind and #solar accounted for 17% of total electricity generation, surpassing #coal, which fell to a record low of 15%, according to a new report from global energy think tank Ember.
Despite growing #emissions, the #carbon intensity of #electricity continued to decline. The rise in power demand was much faster than the rise in power sector #CO2 emissions, making each unit of electricity likely the cleanest it has ever been.
