Puffington Host says repairing appliances helps reduce climate change

From the Annals of Irresponsible Journalism comes this gem from the Huffington Post claiming that repairing broken appliances will help to reduce "- yup, you guessed it- climate change."

Hot Date Idea: In Amsterdam, a new social activity, the Repair Café, offers to repair things for free, reports Sally McGrane at The New York Times. It's helping to reduce waste, consumption, and -- yup, you guessed it -- climate change.

Note to the Puffington Host: The NYT article says absolutely nothing about climate change
