Many people often forget the benefits of global warming, new shipping lanes and increased fish stocks are two of them.

But, of course, any benefits are far outweighed by the negatives.

Also, recycling does a lot more than tackle climate change. It lowers the demand, and therefore, the price of fossil fuels. It makes fossil fuel stocks last longer. And it can reduce short-term dependence on foreign oil if some crisis came up.
