Stuff gets it right this time: http://www.stuff.co.nz/science/6945133/Australasia-at-its-hottest-in-a-1-000-years-report

but once again the commentators get it very, very wrong.

Oh Morgue, that is so sad. I am so sorry for you and Pio and his family. And I very much agree we need to do better and change the tide that is turning right now. Compassion not economic reductionism!

Well done, and thanks for recording the orginal-original wording.

I also talked to someone to Stuff/Fairfax and I should say they are very keen to do science reporting right. This was obviously a disappointing start to the science section, but hopefully we can hope (and help) for something better once they’ve got their bearings.
