BBC: more propaganda.

"Global temperatures this year will be lower than in 2007...This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory. But experts have also forecast a record high temperature within five years, probably associated with another episode of El Nino"
Arch-global warming reporter's original piece on the BBC website

A little later this had changed to "Global temperatures will drop slightly this year...This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory. But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend -- and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.The WMO points out that the decade from 1998 to 2007 was the warmest on record. Since the beginning of the 20th Century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74C. While NASA, the US space agency, cites 2005 as the warmest year, the UK's Hadley Centre lists it as second to 1998. Researchers say the uncertainty in the observed value for any particular year is larger than these small temperature differences. What matters, they say, is the long-term upward trend."

Shortly later it appeared thus, "... experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend -- and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.The WMO points out that the decade from 1998 to 2007 was the warmest on record. Since the beginning of the 20th Century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74C.

Researchers say the uncertainty in the observed value for any particular year is larger than these small temperature differences. What matters, they say, is the long-term upward trend."

None of the updates was signified by a change to the 'last update stamp'.

Why were these changes made? because of pressure from author and climate alarmist Jo Abbess. Read all about it at American thinker.

Nevertheless, the global conspiracy about climate change seems to be falling apart.
