Comments on: Global warming first: oxygen involved! http://www.climateconversation.wordshine.co.nz/2010/03/global-warming-first-oxygen-involved/ Taking the heat out of global warming Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:08:07 +1200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Barry Brill http://www.climateconversation.wordshine.co.nz/2010/03/global-warming-first-oxygen-involved/comment-page-1/#comment-21511 Barry Brill Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:42:12 +0000 http://www.climateconversation.wordshine.co.nz/?p=4375#comment-21511 Was this just another reprint from the parent paper "The Independent"? Relief is in sight. After 21 loss-making years, and being on the block forever, the Independent has finally been sold to a Russian billionaire. A news item today tells us that Russia plans to use its vast coal reserves for generating electricity, in place of natural gas. This is because it has billions of last-century carbon credits from the collapse of Soviet industry, and wants to obtain the higher gas prices available in Western Europe. Europe has stopped using its coal because of global warming. I think we can guess the Russian owner will be keen to keep up the newspaper's rabid stance on AGW. But the Independent won't be able to force the Herald to reprint its rubbish, in future. Was this just another reprint from the parent paper “The Independent”?
