[set the record straight]

Thanks for this good post.

I have a relative who works in a paper mill, and he's always cursing the stupidity of recycled paper. He says that in order for people to feel good about how they're helping the environment, they have to expend far more energy to clean the ink out of the old paper and repulp it than they do to pulp clean wood. This means more detergents going into the sewers and more wasted electricity, the generating of which wastes limited resources and produces more pollution. And what does all this waste and pollution accomplish? It gives us paper that's inferior in every way to the paper created from trees, which are a completely renewable resource. My, how he loves to rant on this subject.

John Tierney is a genuine treasure, which leaves me wondering why the New York Times allows him space. He stands foursquare for truth, justice and the American Way (freedom, not the PAW / Ed Asner BS). How can this determinedly left-of-center propaganda broadsheet tolerate him?

I suppose it's just one more demonstration that miracles haven't ceased.

This is a great post. If more people would read the Skeptical Environmentalist, they would start seeing that a lot of 'environmental' stuff is really a bunch of useless handwaving.

The environmental 'movement' has really been hijacked by socialists who are just using it to bring down our society. It is a war of inches, but maybe people will start opening their eyes...
