as road traffic and flights have declined, nature has come back in force in many parts of the world. for climate change as emissions of the main warming gas carbon dioxide have fallen in almost every part of the world. 0ur environment correspondent matt mcgrath has been looking at the reasons behind the drop in co2 and what it might mean for global temperatures. right now, we are living through the biggest carbon question ever recorded. crash ever recorded. first century emissions from the burning of coal, oil and gas have risen dramatically, but while war and oil crises have caused falls in co2 before, nothing has come close to the drop in fossil fuel use we are seeing at this moment. because of the coronavirus, the world will probably admit between two and 3 billion tonnes less c02 this year compared to 2019. that fall could be six times larger than during the last global recession in 2008. so what's happened ? well, our skies are a lot clearer, as there has been a huge drop in the number of flights, with a 75% reduction compared to the same time last year. and while the fall off on emissions on the

world managed to unintentionally restrict something else. our carbon emissions. according to a study from nature climate changed by the global carbon project. worldwide carbon emissions have dropped by an unprecedented 17% over the course of the pandemic. the reason is simple. as the industry was forced to slow down and the number of people driving and flying dropped significantly. so did the greenhouse gases created by those activities. and as countries and economies reopen, it's inevitable that these emissions levels will again rise. will countries be able to turn this progress into something sustainable. the chair of the global carbon project. and a co author on this study. he's a professor at stanford and janet mccabe. the director of indiana university and former acting assistant administrate ever for the epa. both of you welcome, rob, i want to start with you, 17%, big number. once things reopen, it looks like the yearly drop in our carbon emissions might be at best 7%, and potentially just 4%. walk me through what you've found? >> first of all, the drop in the united states for a week or two in april wa
