Complaint
A report by the 大象传媒鈥檚 Climate Editor included a reference to 鈥渟uperheated oceans鈥. 听A listener complained this was misleading and alarmist. 听The ECU considered whether the broadcast met the 大象传媒 requirements for due accuracy.
Outcome
The ECU considered the term was used in the report in a colloquial rather than a scientific sense and that, in the context of a short听 bulletin piece aimed at a general audience, it was unlikely to mislead listeners who would have understood the main point was that average global sea temperatures have been at a record high since May 2023. 听听
