Headline: “Cold wave in India attributed to global warming “

Cold wave in India attributed to global warming, says Sify News, a major daily newspaper in India. That’s my favorite headline of the day.

Here’s the lede just in case you thought they’d explain it a little better.

Mumbai: The recent cold wave sweeping across Mumbai and other parts of India could be attributed to global warming, experts said on Tuesday here at an environmental conference.

And the article doesn’t go on to explain the reason that global warming made everything a lot colder.

I understand the nutty environmentalist say stupid things. They are paid to do that. But the reporter wrote it down, the headline writer put it right up there, the editor signed off on it and nobody questioned this ridiculous assertion.

You have to love objective journalism.
