The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says carbon dioxide and methane levels actually surged last year.
The CO2 numbers hit the highest recorded level in over 3 million years, despite the closing of businesses and people staying home during the pandemic.
NOAA says CO2 levels hit 412.5 parts per million in 2020, a rise of 2.6 parts per million from 2019.
