The question is what affect it would have. If it’s minuscule compared to a single bulk cargo freighter it may just be window dressing and greenwashing.

If it would reduce 20% of all energy usage worldwide it would hugely significant.

Commute less and also buy less junk.

No, I'd imagine they need a source that the cost is "extremely high". Are you being purposely disingenuous by reframing the question?

I guess I just get my fur up about the "Sources" demand I see more and more these days. It feels like it is used to stop meaningful discussion on a topic.

I need sources on two claims:

> The cost of commuting on the environment is extremely high.

Reasonable, but source please so I can learn more.

> If 20% of jobs permanently switched to remote, the impact on carbon emissions would be immediate, and extremely positive.

A more extraordinary claim. I also need sources to learn more.

Would like sources and measurement as well however, just in NYC the lockdown had a significant impact on the nature around the city, the air was clean. Unfortunately we are back to precovid traffic levels.
