What the Frick is C02 ?
Just look carefully at the title before you jump to the (incorrect) answer of carbon dioxide. Unfortunately I don’t know what C02 is, and nor does Google apparently, the only results being other news sites that have made the same school boy error as the BBC. Yes it’s true, the BBC have managed to incorrectly write Carbon diOxide as C-zero-two all the way through this article. Oh dear.
Well it was going to happen eventually I guess, and apparently already had happened, given the number of results from that Google query, but I didn’t think it would be the BBC who fell into the trap. Someone needs a chemistry lesson. I’m sure as hell not going to give it though, I only have a GCSE. And yet, I can still point out someone else’s mistakes. Ahh the wonders of a free society.
And I know it doesn’t mean much, but I guess I should put a quote up, in case they rectify the (glaring!) errors. That’s right people, this isn’t the only occurrence…
Corus said the investment would reduce C02 emissions by reusing gas generated inside the Basic Oxygen Steel (BOS) plant.
