ted, The article I read was much more definitive. The AP article was based on an article published in NY Times: The thick ice that covers the Arctic Ocean at the North Pole has melted, leaving a mile-wide stretch of water at the top of the world, The New York Times reported Saturday. dailynews.yahoo.com This is what New York Times original reported: The last time scientists can be certain the pole was awash in water was more than 50 million years ago. nytimes.com This is what you read from AP: For the first time in 50 million years, visitors to the North Pole can see something extraordinary: water. It is very different and inaccurate. Obviously by someone who has not taken any math or logic courses during their college years. Does it truly matter whether it was 200 or 1000 or 50 million years? For the first time in the lifetimes of the current residents of this planet, there is a patch of open water on the Arctic Ocean. That, in itself, is a profound enough statement. In the whole schemes of things, the length of a human life is so short, so inconsequential that it is amusing for people to think that they will witness a major planetary event in their lifetimes. It is even more amusing to watch people to go to the polls and "vote" for a planetary change. Joe
