The Meteorological Bureau stopped issuing smog warnings? Who is the title party?

Last night, a "Notice on Suspension of Smog Forecast and Early Warning Service" was circulated on the Internet. What does this mean? No more smog warnings? Everyone expressed that they were scared by the title, and almost all kinds of in-depth discussions were launched.

Just look at the title and this picture. Do we see the truth? In fact, the source of this news is an article written by the newspaper last night. Anyone who has patiently read the text of the manuscript will come to a conclusion that it is obviously misleading to simply hang "Please ask the Meteorological Bureau to stop the smog warning" in the title.

The truth is, it's like a sauce:

This notice on the suspension of smog forecasting and early warning business is only an internal notice and has not been publicly released. It is because the meteorological bureau and the environmental protection department often have different situations when releasing smog information. A joint working mechanism will be introduced this time. In the future, there will be a consultation mechanism on how to issue early warning and who will issue early warning. Under the new mechanism, not only the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Meteorological Bureau, but also other relevant units will be released after consultation by one department. At present, the details of the joint working mechanism are still being solicited and should be announced soon.

Teacher Song also expressed the unified caliber of the two departments in Weibo:

Then netizens who see this can't help but ask, what is the difference between these two colors of alarms?

At the same time, the Beijing Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning of smog, the Beijing Emergency Office issued a red warning of heavy air pollution, and the two institutions issued different "color" smog weather warnings.

1. The orange warning of smog was issued by Beijing Meteorological Observatory, and the red warning of heavy pollution was issued by Beijing Emergency Office.

2. The orange warning of smog is decided by the internal consultation of the Central Meteorological Observatory and released by itself; The red warning of heavy pollution was established by emergency headquarters in Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau. The Beijing Emergency Office put forward the suggestion of issuing red warning information, and then the Beijing Emergency Office issued the red warning of heavy pollution.

3. The publishing standards are inconsistent.

It can be seen that there will be an orange warning and a red warning because the main reference indicators for issuing the two warnings are different. It is easy to bring trouble to everyone.

A number of meteorological and environmental protection system analysts said that the meteorological department will no longer issue smog warning and forecast, which means that the two departments are further clarifying the division of responsibilities to avoid misunderstanding between the two "early warnings" in public release.

This was originally a good thing, and it was a matter of progress. However, when some media spread, it may be to get more clicks, or it may be to sensationalize and deliberately mislead. There are too many such things. Bian Xiao reminded colleagues: Please use the right to speak of the media carefully, and don't mislead people!
