I'm of the suspicion that a sudden catastrophic drop in human population will put a significant downward pressure on global climate.
I also kinda think that's the "master plan" among brain geniuses in the capitalist elite. That's why there's the endless fixation on VR and automation and space colonies. They've really drunk their own kool-aid and believe they can tech their way into Galt's Gulch.
From my extremely basic humanities-brained understanding of climate change, greenhouse gas effects operate with a delay so the warming we're experiencing right now is caused by CO2 from the 70's or 80's. You're totally right that a massive die off would drop emissions but we'd still have compounding effects from years ago chasing us. I would absolutely love to be wrong about this though.
I mean, just the crash in air travel after COVID hit dropped temperatures noticeably... for a little while. But we're talking about 4% of total emissions which can't be sustained without a massive industrial and manpower commitment. I suspect that in 100 years, after the shit really hits the fan, "the age of air travel" will be one of those things they write books about in found remembrance.
That's hardly the only industry that would quickly become unsustainable without an enormous surplus of labor.
