They say the study was published in the “Advancing Earth and Space Science Journal”, without mentioning the authors, date, or title.

“Advancing Earth and Space Science” is the tagline of the American Geophysical Union, which has 24 journals—none of which are actually called the “Advancing Earth and Space Science Journal”. Presumably they were reading an article from one of those journals on the AGU website, and mistook the tagline at the top of the page for the journal name.

So does anyone know what study they’re actually referring to?

I'm pretty sure the whole article is bullshit. Not that the facts are incorrect, but that they aren't researched and are likely just regurgitated content either generated by AI, or an editor that gets paid by the click. It's all part of LADbible, which has never been a bastion of journalism to me.
