Pollution mitigates pollution?

[New Scientist]: Acid rain limits global warming

The new study shows that sulphur in acid rain may have benefits, limiting global warming by counteracting the natural production of methane gases by microbes in wetland areas.

I'm running a betting pool on how long before the Simplistics start touting this study as proof that pollution is good and that all us snivelling biota should stop our bellyaching. (Watch Fox News for the fair and balanced results.)
