Global ice amounts are fairly stable (although they might make a very small change over the long - term, global annual variations are small). (wattsupwiththat.com)
Again, this area of warming is likely to result from biases in modelled sea ice amounts [16]. (rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org)
Context quickly appeared as historic reconstructions of Arctic temperatures and the natural annual variation of ice amounts showed everything within normal variability. (drtimball.com)
