Scientists Report New Record Low for Sea Ice in Winter
------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported Wednesday
Arctic Ocean sea ice grew last winter to the lowest maximum extent ever
recorded, in another sign that human-driven global warming is
irrevocably changing the planet. The record low extent of the ice
followed a number of record high temperatures in the Arctic over the
winter, with measurements at the North Pole repeatedly climbing by as
much as 50 degrees Fahrenheit above normal.
