Darvaz: The Door to Hell
I've always wondered/worried about the waste/consequences of the burn-off flares on oil rigs and refineries, but this seems grotesque.
Equate it to a few seemingly much more pressing AGW issues in the media.
I wonder if it counts to their Kyoto commitment? And which is better (relatively), the pure gas or the consequences of its combustion?
Surely it is not beyond the whit of man to pop a lid on and harvest this as a resource?

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
