From the article, what we all already knew:
Scientists: We detected infinitesimally sparse amounts on the sunny side of the planet for the first time!
The author: Literally covered.
For fuck’s sake.
Modern "scientific" edutainment articles are full of this kind of shit. Only made worse with the pretentious "actually" bullshit and the like that they shove into every headline.
The planet is almost entirely made up of CO2, trace amounts of oxygen doesn't equal being covered in it. This constant need to try and bait people into every click has ruined virtually all journalism.
Hahaha oh my god are you fucking serious?
This is why I don’t believe any headline I read on the internet.
