Did you hear David Shukman on the news - temperatures have halved (30 to

15)? And he's supposed to be a science correspondent. The whole article

was well over the top with other less than correct statements.

Yes, I did. And he said it *twice*; the second time, with actual figures "From 30C to 15C". Surely someone quality assures those broadcasts, but they don't appear to have been bright themselves to realise his abject error.

I'm sure the BBC will get complaints, but I'm not sure they will address them!
