From the vault-the errors always seem to go one way...up

News Online – 16 March 2007
THE COMPLAINT
Two online users pointed out that a report on weather changes in the northern hemisphere incorrectly stated that 0.18 was three times 0.6.
THE RESPONSE
The ABC agreed that there was a typographical error in the story; the temperature rise in question should have referred to 0.06 degrees. The figure was corrected.
