CNN: “Climate Change Makes Island Kids Bony, Stunted”! Scientist: “Death Rates Due To Extreme Weather Falling Precipitously Since 1920s”.

UPDATE: WattsUpWithThat posts a terrific response to one of the article comments on CNN.com. WattsUpWithThat is apparently not aware of the original, ridiculous title yet, hopefully Anthony Watts takes notice of it soon — would love to hear what he thinks!

UPDATE: Newsbusters has picked up on the story.

UPDATE: CNN.com has already changed the ridiculous headline, and moved the link from the top left to a less featured position. At least someone is paying attention over there.
Dig up the cache for the link to see the original headline: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/07/06/westtimor.children/index.html

This despicable, ridiculous article is currently THE LEAD on cnn.com:
Climate Change Makes Island Kids Bony, Stunted
Check the cache if the headline changes, I don’t expect that one to be up too long.
Meanwhile, we have a voice of sanity over at WattsUpWithThat.com:
Going Down: Death Rates Due to Extreme Weather Events
