That's really not true, and we have the largest experiment on collective behaviour in history to show this. COVID lockdowns had an _enormous_ impact on carbon emissions. Everyone should fight to WFH, even if you hate it, because the benefit to reducing carbon emissions is known and significant.

IIRC Covid reduced emissions by about 7%. Then they went back up. That's big... but not as big as the 10% reductions we actually need every year
