In particular, during the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on individuals for the sake of public health, and forms of individual accountability and responsibility that were unthinkable only one year before, have been adopted by millions of people. People may be more prepared to accept the tracking and limitations related to PCAs to achieve a safer climate and the many other benefits (for example, reduced air pollution and improved public health) associated with addressing the climate crisis. Other lessons that could be drawn relate to the public acceptance in some countries of additional surveillance and control in exchange for greater safety. For instance, in many countries, mobile apps designed for COVID-19 infection tracking and tracing played an important part in limiting the spread of the pandemic. The deployment and testing of such apps provide technology advances and insights for the design of future apps for tracking personal emissions. Recent studies show how COVID-19 contact-tracing apps were successfully implemented with mandatory schemes in several East Asian countries, such as China, Taiwan and South Korea43. In these countries, the apps assessed each user’s travel history and health status, playing a key role in tracking infections43. These unique natural experiments give insights into possible strategies to use apps to track PCAs. For instance, the many digital contact-tracing algorithms that were developed and tested43,44 provide initial valuable information for the design of future apps that—for example—estimate emissions on the basis of tracking the user’s movement history.

Sahara is shrinking global tree coverage increasing due to more CO2 in atmosphere.
Biden has promised each and every illegal immigrant a monster truck if only they will take up arms against the American citizenry.
When you can’t find an explanation for the Left’s behavior, try the simplest one: They are after destroying America. Once you apply the Romo Razor, things become very clear: BLM riots can be used against America, therefore they shall be sanctified. Going to church is a feature of traditional America, therefore it should be banned.
Mass shootings committed by whites are a good assault on the Second Amendment and America’s traditional liberties; mass shootings committed by blacks are uncomfortable, so no need to bring those up. The #MeToo movement is useful for attacking conservative judges, upholding America’s Constitution, but it has no use if applied against a leftist presidential candidate.
