Coronavirus shutdowns have unintended climate benefits: cleaner air, clearer water
In Venice, the often murky canals recently began to get clearer, with fish visible in the water below. Italy’s efforts to limit the coronavirus meant an absence of boat traffic on the city’s famous waterways. And the changes happened quickly.
Countries that have been under stringent lockdowns to stop the spread of the coronavirus have experienced an unintended benefit. The outbreak has, at least in part, contributed to a noticeable drop in pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in some countries.
Although grim, it’s something scientists said could offer tough lessons for how to prepare — and ideally avoid — the most destructive impacts of climate change.
Looks great, eh? (more below the fold)

This is great, but, it has zero to do with ‘climate change’. Real environmental concerns, yes. But, most of those boats were not powered by fossil fuels. But, this is the life climate cultists want, people restricted from going anywhere.
Notice the caption, which is from the original linked article. What’s the reality?
However, Venice mayor’s office is quick to debunk the rumors that the fish can be seen due to the changed and improved quality of water. “The water now looks clearer because there is less traffic on the canals, allowing the sediment to stay at the bottom,†a spokesman told CNN news. “It’s because there is less boat traffic that usually brings sediment to the top of the water’s surface.â€
Besides having absolutely nothing to do with Hotcoldwetdry, the water was clearer due to no more boats moving through the canals, and let’s not forget that the gondolas are moved by sticking a rod into the ground, which stirs up the sediment. The water is not cleaner, it is just clearer. The original NBC News article forgot to mention that rather important tidbit.
These climate cultists are completely dishonest.
And the prudent actions of the President…

With more than 10,000 stateside cases of the virus now confirmed, the Trump administration has scrambled in recent days to see drug testing deregulated for the purposes of quicker, more effective pandemic response — and the result may be a successful treatment in the form of chloroquine.
Keep cutting that beaurocratic red tape Mr. President. It’s working.

Imagine Zippy with his pen and phone.
Oy!
More info on the data is saying we’re going nuts over nothing
Death rate among the elderly on the Diamond Princess was only 1/8 of 1%.
Interesting stuff.
While the famous gondalas and manually powered, most of the boats in Venice are not gondolas, and are powered by motors.
