When we talk about "melting ice" we are not talking about a few weeks of
'almost-average' ice extend. We are talking about the long term trend :

My point is : let us first have a look at the data. Melting, not
melting ? Of what time scale, spring ? 5 years ? 30 years ?
Next point, the sentence above is really puzzling. Is really ice melting
going to warm Artic ?
When I put an ice cube in my whisky, will I expect it to warm ? Up to the
moment I read this press article, I ignored that melting ice could warm
something.
