What a clickbait headline, immediately Betteridge'd by its own subheadline:

> No. The skeptics are wrong. The Southern Surge is real.
Talk about a nothing article, in addition to the clickbait headline. I flagged it and went on about my day.
I think you might find it was meant to be a play on words, which explains the immediate insertion of an answer - which is the actual headline. Smart.
Was it? I couldn't read the full article, since I'm not a subscriber, but from the free portion, all it looked like to me was clickbait.
