It proves nothing of the sort. The early lockdowns in 2020 dropped US CO2 emissions by 20% [1], which is right in line with removing nearly 2/3rds of the transportation sector's carbon emissions. But during that same time, China's CO2 emissions were increasing, as they didn't have the same long-term widespread WFH. And they started producing more goods[2] to meet increased demand from the people staying home. In the end, it was __us__ through increased demand that caused this. It's comforting to blame it on someone else, but it's our collective decisions making this happen.
