"Hurricane Dolly lashes Gulf Coast"

Very puzzling, very puzzling.

The BBC's article about Hurricane Dolly does not - until it is rewritten later today, that is - contain the magic sentence "Experts have warned that the frequency and ferocity of such storms is set to increase if global warming is not kept in check."

Or perhaps they have changed tactics - right next to that article is one headed "Fewer hurricanes as world warms" so perhaps, they'll splice in a sentence like "Warmer oceans have reduced the frequency of such storms, but experts have warned that their ferocity is set to increase if global warming is not kept in check".

Better get that article over to The Records Department, eh lads?
