Greener But Not Cleaner? How Trees Can Worsen Urban Air Pollution
Just because it goes against what you want to believe, does not mean it is junk science or funded by oil companies. IFLScience is not known for collaborating the oil companies and are quite fond of EV's and protecting the environment. Also, if you look at the link of the study posted in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database, you will see how the Belgian scientist conducted the research that the article is based on.
Basically, trees consume CO2 which is good for the environment, but not PM or NOx which is harmful to our health. Since the trees(and buildings) block the wind that would otherwise carry these substances away, they allow them to stagnate in a local area making it worse for our health.
I advised you earlier to stop digging when you find yourself in the hole.
IFL is a click-bait site whose claim to infamy is to sell T-shirts based on plagiarized photos.
What else is there in your portfolio of beliefs? Let me guess.
1. Earth is flat.
2. Moon landing is hoax
3. Climate change is a liberal conspiracy to make money.
4. Cigarettes don't cause cancer.
5. Sucking the tailpipe of a truck with running engine can turn you into Spiderman.
