This from a BBC news science report:
'Scientists in India and Pakistan say higher temperatures were just one factor behind the recent heatwaves and other causes have yet to be established.'

I hope that wasn't a privately educated journalist.

they'll be telling us that we get wet when it rains next

[ummmm]

Depends what kind of rain it is :-)

The fine stuff that soaks you through?

[ummmm]

That's the stuff....

I now see that if you stress the word 'one' it makes more sense. Sort of.

It could be particulates in the air from burning the money they're handed.
Some of those nuclear weapons facilities and space programme sites can get cold of a night.

As I understand it a heatwave means higher temperatures, so it isn't a factor, it's what is trying to be explained.

[agchristie]

I wouldnt worry Zacs,it's just a lot of hot air...

[venator]

Sloppy English. By saying "heatwaves" he may have meant to refer to the effects of the heatwaves

"just one"; presumably the other half of the sentence has some meaning?
