Rather than just asking the question in the headline (journalistically weak), show your strength and state your conclusion.

i.e. Yes or No, then back it up with the evidence.

Just like Darwin Finches in the Galapagos Islands. Evolved different beaks & shapes depending on their dominant food source, whilst still part of the same species.

I also find BBC weather to have poorer accuracy (foreign provider).
