he London Guardian has suggested that global lockdowns will be needed every two years in order to save the planet. The outlet used the (now changed) alarmist headline Global Lockdown Every Two Years Needed To Meet Paris CO2 Goals Study.
The piece refers to study published in the Nature journal by a team of researchers at the University of East Anglia, who concluded that CO2 emissions need to drop by the same amount as they have during the recent lockdown period roughly every two years in order to offset global warming.
The study did not advocate global lockdowns in order to achieve this, despite the Guardians misleading headline. In fact it called for completely different methods.
