The UK's Met Office (which no longer is allowed to provide the BBC with weather predictions because they have been so far off) really outdid themselves this week! First they said the temps were increasing more rapidly than was originally believed...
This is from the UK Gaurdian November 26 2010...
World is warming quicker than thought in past decade, says Met Office | Environment | The Guardian
Then..I still find this amusing..
On the VERY SAME DAY in a report on the BBC they say the rate has slowed

BBC News - Met Office says 2010 'among hottest on record'
So there you have it, the Met says it's the hottest year on record (well, maybe the second)
and the rate of change both increased and slowed at the same time!
Orwell would be proud of them.
