What Al Gore said: "Many scientists predict that the entire north polar ice cap
may be completely gone during summer months in the first term of the next
president."
What a scientist said: "Within 'five to less than 10 years,' the Arctic could
be free of sea ice in the summer, said NASA ice scientist Jay Zwally."
Granted arctic sea ice is melting, but from "free of sea ice within five to
ten" to "polar ice cap gone within four" is quite a leap, is it not? Or is
Greenland really in such peril?
