British English and American English are two very different animals, but I honestly think the BBC News Online people wrote this headline this way on purpose just to see how many more clicks than usual it'd get:

Great tits cope well with warming

It's about birds, so's you know.

Opinion over here is that it may be a stealth homage/obituary in honour of Humphrey Littleton who died last week, one of our nations greatest ever purveyors of double entendres. :-)

well it was enough to get it boinged (http://www.boingboing.net/2008/05/09/great-tits-cope-well.html#comments), which is where I found it.

GREAT headline, though.
