The coronavirus has no impact on global warming
Global warming has been a very big problem since the 1970s. Carbon emissions have contributed to the destruction of the earth’s ozone layer. Scientists and activists have been trying to make solutions to stop it. This includes cutting down on carbon emitters. After the coronavirus outbreak has become a global catastrophe, environmentalists wonder if the lack of human interaction with the environment has caused problems like global warming to slow down. However, that is not the case.

- Reliance on electricity has caused more carbon emission during quarantineElectricity is something that society runs on. Before electricity, oil, steam, and horses existed as the main power sources. Even though electricity seems more efficient than any of those things, it comes at a price. Electricity is powered by carbon emissions which is bad for the environment.
- Fixing global warming will take longer to fix than the coronavirus pandemicGlobal warming has been an issue for decades. Yet, solutions only started appearing in the 2010s. By now, a lot of damage has been done to the environment. It will take more than a self-quarantine period to fix global warming.
