This is actually a thought that some climate deniers have. “Climate change is a hoax to control you, covid was the trial run”.
Unsurprisingly, the people who say that publicly tend to be funded by oil.

Why doesn’t anyone ever think COVID was sent by God to give us a reprieve and a chance to get our act together, which we’re now squandering?

Whenever I think about this article, I think about how they could not have possibly known how emissions would grow, and they were perfectly reasonable to frame it this way. And if things stayed at that rate, we would have been able to do something about it so easily when we started getting worried

“large”… If only. Barely a drop in the bucket.
