BBC swaps “coldest December since 1981" headline (Changes it to "Icy Conditions...")
Whats Up With That ^ | 1-3-09

Sometimes factual headlines can be bad for for the globull warming movement. Such was the case when the BBC worked quickly to pull a headline change from "Coldest December since 1981" to a less scary sounding (for the warmists) "Icy conditions lead to closure of Giant's Causeway".

Unfortunately for the BBC, screenshots and Google kept them from hiding the evidence.

LOL... we hear about the coldest winter and soon we’ll be hearing about the hottest summer...

I mean, what’s the world coming to when it gets cold in winter and hot in summer... Ring me up when we have a heat wave in winter (you know... running about 110 degrees or so) and a honest-to-goodness ice storm that hangs on for a week in summer...

Then I’ll be paying more attention... :-)

Winston examined the four slips of paper which he had unrolled. Each contained a message of only one or two lines, in the abbreviated jargon -- not actually Newspeak, but consisting largely of Newspeak words -- which was used in the Ministry for internal purposes. They ran:

It looks like the evidence has been removed. I get a page not found 404 error when I click on it.

It doesn’t help the thousands of hours of programming and production material centered around AGW.
