This is the second paragraph:
> Despite this destruction, scientists keep coming to an odd conclusion: The Earth is growing greener. Not green in the metaphorical “sustainable” sense, but in the literal color green.
But this is something we knew two decades ago when I was a tween — not an “odd conclusion”. (The article implies four decades ago.)
The only way you’d find it “odd” is if you followed The Science(TM) rather than scientific investigation.
- ajross 3y agoYou're leaping from those two words[1] to a conspiracy around something you're calling "The Science(TM)"... Again, this seems like a very readable and worthwhile article to me. Explainer articles are Vox's specialty, and this frankly seems like a pretty good one. It's good you were paying attention four decades ago, not everyone was, and it's good that someone is trying to detail this for the people who weren't. [1] Which can easily be interpreted as "surprising to the reader", which seems not at all controversial to me.
