Title: "Nuclear fusion breakthrough raises hopes for ultimate green energy source"
As usual in science journalism, the article's content flatly contradicts its title. The described result is not remotely a breakthrough, and it doesn't measurably raise hope for a green energy source, and nuclear fusion is not the "ultimate" green energy source -- there are many equivalent candidate sources that meet that description.
Imagine a science journalist writing a headline after being forced to take a truth drug -- "Scientists report an interesting result caused by tweaking their ignition experiment."
