Am I giving away story ideas?

At 10:42 am (EST), lunatica posted a thread in GD called "Interactive map of the US cities and suburbs' carbon footprint"

At 10:45 am, I commented:

Interesting. What it makes clear is that, if a large carbon footpring is deadly, then the suburbs are killing us. DC, Philly, Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Chicago lakefront -- all green. But move beyond the city limits? Red, as far as you can see.


At 11:50 am, Lindsay Abrams at Salon published a very short article under this headline/sub-head:

This map shows how suburban sprawl is destroying the environment
The climate benefits of urban living are canceled out by the suburbs' massive carbon footprint


What's a guy got to do to get a simple thank-you, Lindsay?
