Hi. Unfortunately I was unable to access the article this question refers to. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
We can see that the view that Chicago is “…at the forefront of the green-roof movement” is refuted, with the phrase showing that Germany has a much larger amount of green roofs than Chicago. This shows that Chicago does not deserve the title of "forefront" in the use of these roofs, as there are places, such as Germany, that have taken the lead in this attitude.
Unfortunately, without reading the article it is not possible to know how it affects the general tone and mood of the article. However, considering that this is an informative article, we can consider that this rebuttal, presents the feeling that green roofs are something that is being established very slowly in America, even though this is a very beneficial attitude for society. Furthermore, this rebuttal may present a delayed mood, as it shows that America is late in implementing this technology. This can be seen because the tone and mood of a text establish the sensation and feeling that the author of the article wants to promote through reading.

Swift writes that after much time and effort, he has finally come up with a solution that is “solid and real, of no expence and little trouble” to address the problem of poverty.
Explanation:
Jonathan Swift wrote his political as well as economical proposal "A Modest Proposal" to offer solutions to the ever increasing poverty and increase of children in the streets. in it, he proposes the idea of using the young children as sources of meat as well as income for both the rich and the poor.
Selling the children as meat to the rich will ensure the continual availability of food while it will also procure a steady flow of income for the parents in their effort of bringing the children into the world. The excerpt shows Swift coming upon a whole new proposal, one that "<em>hath something solid and real, of no expence and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England</em>". But all this came after he had "<em>been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly despairing of success</em>". Thus, Swift admits that after so much effort and time, he had finally arrived to a definitive solution for solving the poverty situation of Ireland, a solution that will be "<em>solid and real</em>".
