Few stories about climatology generated as much attention, positive and negative as one by Jonathan Leake in London's Sunday Times back in January.

As pretty much anyone without an ulterior motive who bothered to look into the matter quickly discovered, that wasn't true. Now, more than five months later, the Times has apologized for the story.
