You are partially correct: I scanned the article initially and wrote an inaccurate summary based on an inaccurate scan.

As you point out, there is consensus on the causes, first, excess nutrients from fertilization in the USSR, and second, decreased ventilation in the post-USSR period caused by climate change.

As to diverting criticism of Russia: BWA HA HA HA HA! That's funny. Little or nothing could provide greater proof of our not knowing each other. That's pretty funny. Wipes tear from eye.

As I stated, it was possible that you wrote the comment to divert criticism. I said that because Russia has a giant army of internet trolls who spend all day doing that sort of thing.

But I also said it was possible there was another cause, and I see now that is the case. My apologies.
