One Portsmouth paper reporting on a long-term tidal cycle that would increase the high tide mark one month was announcing a 7 meter high wave that was going to engulf the port, little realising until the were corrected by those in the know that it would be a mere 7 millimeters.
Not to mention terrible terminology, the reporting of findings not yet verified, meaning quotes of and interviews with scientists offer the most tentative of responses, it's no wonder why the prevalent opinion of science is what it is now.
