With the advent of the Coronavirus Outbreak there have been some interesting off court developments.
1.Pollution levels over China have been significantly decreased.

2. The banning of ALL Wet Markets, markets common in China, that sell live and dead wild animals will have a very significant on the world wide trade in endangered animals.
3. A number of airlines have announced significant reductions in flights which will have an international effect on world wide pollution levels.
4. Encouragement of Home Working will likewise have an impact on pollution levels in the western world.
All the above are eminently desirable to some degree. BUT less desirable or not depending on your point of view.
a. The Syrian War. The effect could be catastrophic for both sides.
b. Afghanistan similarity.
c. Refugees from all conflicts
d. Economic migrants
e. Sub-equator countries - excluding Australia and New Zealand - could be devastated because of the lack of medical facilities and here the Death Rate could be 20% or so.
Or do you subscribe to the Gaia Theory that this is Mother Earth Resetting.
The Gaia hypothesis posits that the Earth is a self-regulating complex system involving the biosphere, the atmosphere, the hydrospheres and the pedosphere, tightly coupled as an evolving system. The hypothesis contends that this system as a whole, called Gaia, seeks a physical and chemical environment optimal for contemporary life.[13]
Gaia evolves through a cybernetic feedback system operated unconsciously by the biota, leading to broad stabilization of the conditions of habitability in a full homeostasis. Many processes in the Earth's surface essential for the conditions of life depend on the interaction of living forms, especially microorganisms, with inorganic elements. These processes establish a global control system that regulates Earth's surface temperature, atmosphere composition and ocean salinity, powered by the global thermodynamic disequilibrium state of the Earth system.[14]
The existence of a planetary homeostasis influenced by living forms had been observed previously in the field of biogeochemistry, and it is being investigated also in other fields like Earth system science. The originality of the Gaia hypothesis relies on the assessment that such homeostatic balance is actively pursued with the goal of keeping the optimal conditions for life, even when terrestrial or external events menace them

China pollution clears amid coronavirus slowdown
Nasa says major decreases in nitrogen dioxide levels are "at least partly" linked to the outbreak.
