Clearer Air From Covid Worldwide will save more lives that would have died from Air pollution

 7 million people were dying from Air pollution around the world yearly especially in places like Iran and parts of India and Pakistan and in Beijing. Many less people will likely die from air pollution now worldwide because of World Wide Covid slowing down human activities that create air pollution.

However, the problem now is that clearer air also causes the ice to melt off all over the planet at a greater rate especially around the poles. This will create even quicker melting of the ice caused by the blue or green water of the oceans and lakes and rivers not covered with ice more and more of the year worldwide. This will increase the heating of the oceans and lakes of the world and will increase wind speeds and this will be caused by greenhouse gases and methane melting out of the permafrost especially in Canada, Siberia and Alaska. The methane is much more dangerous to global warming than the other greenhouse gases by the way.

As the heat in the oceans increases, this also increases the wind speeds caused by the heat in the oceans which increases speeds in storms from 100 mph eventually to 300 mph or more which blows down more trees and destroys more crops worldwide and causes more flooding from storm surge worldwide.

So, even though many millions less should die now from air pollution, global warming will likely speed up because of the clearer air caused by Covid and the millions of deaths from Covid over the next few years time.
