North Pole not as wet as reported
The Associated Press
NEW YORK (August 29, 2000 10:07 a.m) - Citing a report in The New York
Times, The Associated Press erroneously reported Aug. 19 that open water
had been spotted on the North Pole for the first time in 50 million years,
a possible sign of global warming.
In a correction Tuesday, the Times said it had misstated the normal
conditions of sea ice at the pole. It said open water probably has
occurred there before because the Arctic Ocean is about 10 percent
ice-free during a typical summer.
The Times also said the lack of ice at the North Pole is not necessarily a
result of global warming.
