The coronavirus is coinciding with "significant decreases" in nitrogen dioxide over China, according to NASA, as authorities there continue to place more people under quarantines and some businesses remain closed amid the outbreak.
Pollution monitoring satellites operated by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) detected the decreases over a two-month span, according to a news release. The drops coincided with the outbreak and the Lunar New Year, which was unusually tame because many decided to stay indoors rather than risk becoming infected.
This is the first time I have seen such a dramatic drop-off over such a wide area for a specific event, said Fei Liu, an air quality researcher at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
Nitrogen dioxide levels over China decreased dramatically as China continues to grapple with the coronavirus outbreak.
In January, Chinese authorities locked down several cities and shut down all transportation going into and out of the city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak.
The pollution reduction is shown in two maps released by the space agencies. The first shows large concentrations of nitrogen dioxide levels over Beijing and near Wuhan from Jan. 1 through 20, before mandated quarantines were issued.
The second is dated from Feb. 10 to 25 in the same area. Almost no nitrogen dioxide is shown.

high trait conscientiousness

I’m not getting exactly what this is.
I am also thinking that becoming a coronavirus alarmist, like climate alarmism
*************
Imagine all of the community organizing opportunities and the potential for consulting on “alarmist projects”. Might lead to a lucrative career. Never let a crisis go to waste. LOL
“The Agenda 21 crowd is hopeful...”
I’ll see that and raise you the Georgia Guide Stones.
Correct. Correlation is not causation. And such an implication should not cause cessation of action.
Trucks and buses.
Why is vehicle traffic down drastically in China?
Oh, right, Greta Thunberg.
You're an idiot, then.
To me, there is a strange allure to work in an otherwise buzzing place after closing, alone in the quiet.
Without pants.
This just in:
Nitrogen Dioxide is the vaccine for Corona-virus!
It’s one of the big five personality traits. They are: openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, extraversion and neuroticism. Each trait had sub traits. I try to think of these traits when analyzing liberals. They are obviously mentally deranged so it should be useful to know how and perhaps why they are deranged.
I'm sure various and sundry people will "prove" all kinds of things.
Interesting. Thanks
...and Seoul still has theirs...
Do you have a point you’re trying to make or do you just run around calling people idiots? It’s not that I care what you think but it is a question you should ask yourself. :-)
