The only time humans ever controlled climate was when governments locked them down, during covid. Ergo it is proven that it would be enough to reform work laws and make mandatory work from home where it's possible to stop climate change.

There were multiple reports about smog disappearing from towns. People were reporting that they see objects in long distances. You can still read some article about it https://archive.ph/o82vf

Yeah but I just say that we can sacrifice a month, stay at home as a humanity to check what would happen, measure it properly. We are just not civilized enough to do so and right now I doubt we will ever be as humans.
