Perfect ammo against the tree-huggers

Here's a perfect piece of ordnance for those wishing to attack environmental orthodoxy. "Recycling 'could be adding to global warming,' says the headline in the Telegraph. What perfect irony, anti-environmental skeptics will hoot. One of the tree-huggers' most cherished policies is making things worse.

Oh, wait. If you read the story it says that recycled material may aggravate climate change only if it's burned. That has little to do with recycling per se. And oh yeah -- these folks don't believe in global warming in the first place.
