Smithsonian Denounces AP Story on 2006 Arctic Exhibit

From the release:

The Acting Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution today denounced a May 21 Associated Press story that erroneously reported the Smithsonian had “toned down” and changed text for an exhibit on climate change in the Arctic, due to political pressure. The AP story was based on an erroneous allegation made by a former Smithsonian employee who was neither a scientist nor a curator.

“For decades, the Smithsonian has been conducting research on the impact of climate change on biological communities over millions of years,” said Cristián Samper, Acting Secretary.
