I'm not sure if it's because here in North America summer has ended and the days are starting to get shorter, or maybe there's something hardwired in people to hear that vegetation is flourishing and think of it as a good thing but viscerally I had the same reaction. Intellectually I can understand that the reason for this growth is the earth is warming causing the ice caps to melt and the ramifications for this are worse than however good seeing a bit of moss makes me feel, not to mention, as is addressed at the end of the article, the potential for invasive species to wind up overtaking what I assume must be an extremely niche biome and oh God we are completely screwed. Still: moss. Nice. I like it. Edit: typo
