Without all those planes flying, global warming will end in one month.

The aviation industry produces around 2.5% of total human CO2 output, so no it won't.

I think you got the decimal point in the wrong place.

Maybe not a month, but the virus is causing the planet to "heal" its self. Maybe its Mother Natures way of saying Enough is enough.

The comment was sarcastic

but you are right

. It must have some effect as a large plane burns tons of fuel just flying to USA in12 hrs. If all planes are grounded then the amount of fuel not burned must be huge.
I remember when I was visiting Europe several years ago, being in Switzerland and looking up at night and not seeing stars. Next day I counted 27 vapour trails over head.

CO2 emissions from all commercial operations in 2018 totaled 918 million metric tons—2.4% of global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use.

Ok the toilet paper purchasers at Pukekohe will be Dairy Shop / Service Station owners. They purchase most of their stock in super markets as it is far cheaper for them than at the wholesale suppliers. They put their mark up on and then retail to the general public who are to lazy or to stupid to go to the Super Market themselves. Indian shopkeepers are far from silly just some of their customers.
