Apart from a small brief at the bottom of page 25 of today's edition of
'The Guardian', the UK media ignored the announcements yesterday by both
NASA and the US National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration that 2010
was tied with 2005 as the warmest year on record.
But it was picked up by the media in most of the rest of the world, even
in the United States, where 49 of the 50 states are currently under
snow.
So what's up with our media? I've had a whinge about it here:
