Conclusion for example 2

I’m not sure I understand why the conclusion isn’t the first sentence “it is probably within the reach of human technology to make the climate of Mars inhabitable”

Please post an answer to Karaa's question. I am thinking the same thing.

I had the same issue as well, I was certain the 1st sentence was the conclusion.

Let's try the therefore test.

If we say that "research efforts are justified, therefore human tech can change the climate of mars" this doesn't make any sense. How does the fact that something is justified support the massive empirical claim that we can change mars' climate?

However, if we say that "we can change the climate, therefore research is justified" this makes perfect sense. If we are able to do the hard work, that justifies investment into the topic.
