Well, not exactly. However, they are reporting (to their credit) results of a recent study refuting global warming:
The BBC has been all over the global warming story for years. Opponents have vociferously accused them of bias on the issue and of trying to shut down any further debate on the topic. However, the BBC now posits the following:
Personally, I don't know the answers as it pertains to global warming or how much mankind is influencing our environment. I try to follow the science as much as a layman can, but it's hard to sift through the heated rhetoric on both sides and separate facts from hyperbole. However, this study shows that the issue of global warming is at least more complex and unsettled than many folks make it out to be.
For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.
And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

Some idiot said this morning that we have 50 days to "save the planet" by knuckling under to the "environmentalist" extremists!

With that being said, I still think we should make whatever changes we can make within reason. Surely we do impact the planet in some way and we should be good stewards of the environment.
