Earth changed during pandemic

No. The planet will die from the expansion of the sun, but you and I will die first. SMH.
No, my point is grounded in reason. The OP was engaging in leftist drama queen stupidity, not unlike yourself.
You may not have a choice. Population growth worldwide will drop below replacement numbers this century. Education of females, degraded sperm, married couples where both work to make ends meet, contraceptives. Climate change is driving droughts and crop failures and resultant famines. Some demographers say the world population in 2100 will be lower than the current population. China alone could lose over half a billion in population this century.
mandates, executive orders, oligarchy and totalitarianism are bad, oh, except when they pander to people haters.
One gazillion percent. Another reason why the population bomb environmental hand wringing from environmental whackos was goofy. Not only did we easily exceed supporting many billions more than the doomsayers claimed we could, while MASSIVELY reducing hunger and starvation, capitalism literally raised the world's standard of living so much that we're going to have population decline. The massive concern of environmental anti-capitalists for 50-100 years is being solved by capitalism.
Not that the things you mention aren't important, but the main reason is that as standards of living increase, fertility decreases. Always and everywhere, increases in economic security, food security, financial freedom, life expectancy, etc results in reduced birth rates. Big families have always been common in the poor, the working classes, etc. For plenty of reasons that have nothing to do with famines or sperm counts, people with more economic security and more economic options opt for less kids than the poor.
And the number of truly poor in the world is down to a rounding error compared to any other time in human history. We've effectively eliminated systemic hunger in the world in our lifetime, something unimaginable half a century ago, let alone 500 years ago.
China has some additional factors of course that will hit them even harder.
That's not to say that I don't think population collapse is a bad thing, it is. But most of the proposed solutions to it are so silly as to be unworthy of discussion. I especially love how importing the social suport policies of Europe like family leave and universal healthcare is supposed to help. There may or may not be reasons to do those on their own merits, but Europe's European population is in total freefall, and they've had highly socialist economies for generations.
There will be very little that can be done to reverse the population decline other than extremely radical cultural realignment.
"Pollution was down"
No. It wasn't. Too bad they don't make edible face masks so all you sheep could have eaten them after you used them instead of polluting the environment.

How come a city in India could see the Himalyan mountains for the first time in 30 years? How about whales breeding at record levels without all the cruise ships, etc.?
watch the documentary before you spew any more garbage. You are out of your element
I’ve literally never seen anybody with this position.
There is probably a random geocities website like this for a lot of absurd ideas.
Characterizing it like it’s something even remoteLu mainstream is ludicrous.
Out of my element?
Says the clown who didn't even link this 'must see' documentary everyone is talking about.
I'm sure its fascinating, though.
Do I need to come to your house and load it up on Appletv for you? Need me to force you to put on your big boy pants?
Just watch it and then come back with your usual b.s.
You not only didn't link this supposedly uplifting documentary, you didn't even give us the name of it in case we were bored out of our minds and felt like watching some new age propaganda.
But to answer your question, No. I don't want you to come to my house and (attempt to) force me to do anything.
Assuming you abandoned your house, cars, heating and air conditioning, gas, electricity and cell phones to go live under a pile of sticks to help Mother Earth?
That would make President Trump the most environmentally friendly president in history.
Lib idiots believe it’s healthy to have the least amount of physical human engagement as possible….Children in schools at the most impressionable time in their lives were deprived of reading facial expressions and the formation of words by watching teachers mouths.
These idiots would rather save fuel using zoom than protect the human spirit.
Depriving people of chemical attraction, bonding, organizational skills and basic ability to communicate,
Libs are such losers.
Gee lookie there I can see the Himalayas, but I’m so socially awkward I’ve never learned to look another person in the eye and carry on a conversation…. I’m mindful of my 6 foot space.
What a great time for nature

Yep - my company spews a bunch of nonsense about being sustainable, then requires me and several thousand other people to drive into offices for meetings that are still majority virtual.
just to be clear, two of your examples are groups suing to (1) stop an energy transmittion line and (2) enable nyc's congestion pricing to go into effect (sorry, but i'm not sifting through that grad school essay for "examples")
America’s Top Environmental Groups Have Lost the Plot on Climate Change
A guest post by Wally Nowinskiwww.noahpinion.blog
Tribes, environmental groups ask U.S. court to block $10 billion energy transmission project in Arizona
A filing in U.S. District Court in Arizona aims to block Pattern Energy's SunZia transmission project through the San Pedro Valley east of Tucson.www.pbs.org
Three Leading Grassroots Organizations of Transit Riders, Environmental Advocates, and Environmental Justice Community Groups Sue Governor Hochul and the State of New York on Congestion Pricing Block
Groups representing hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, allege that the unilateral decision by Governor Hochul is detrimental to public health and violates New York’s climate law and the state constitution; Depriving the transportation agency/MTA from $15.6 billion for mass improvementsearthjustice.org
It's extremely easy to find examples, especially now that some democrats and reasonable environmentalists are getting super pissed off about it. And you are about to see a lot more when they try to block rebuilding anything from the LA fires.
sure...if you dig around online, you can find examples of some environmental group suing to stop some project
but if you think the major hurdle to dense housing and transit investments is "environmental activists"...you've had a very different set of professional experiences than i have had
The waters around the western end of Key West were clear again without the cruise ship traffic. Back to murky now.
work from home has been a double edged sword
on one hand...it has reduced our need to make (some) huge transportation investments because most of our highways are designed to accommodate traffic during the AM or PM peak...and the more people work from home, the less dramatic those peaks are
on the other hand...downtowns and cities that had (albeit small) economies consisting of workers spending money buying lunch have taken a beating
An entertaining thread
‘Literally none’
Some are shown
‘Well it’s not many’
The name callers that only have that in their arsenal. No substance.
Keep it up.
