This is the kind of stupidity that hurts the cause
From a Litchfield paper's article on a "green" home

The insulation isn't the pleasant bubble gum or canary hues that distract a person from the carcinogenic dangers of typically used Fiberglas rolls. [emphasis added]Though Fiberglas has a high R value, which is the measure of thermal resistance, it is also very permeable and allows hot and cold air to pass through easily. The zero energy house uses recycled spray-on cellulose, made mostly from old newspaper, that is healthier, fireproof, insect-proof, has a slightly higher R value and at 7.5 inches thick, is nearly impermeable.

Trying to scare people with phony cancer claims is just stupid because, when they discover you know nothing about that, they might begin to wonder if you know anything about the subject at all. Reporters should stick to facts. Opinion bloggers, on the other hand, are free to write whatever damn nonsense we like.
