I am very well aware and have previously blogged that there are multiple factors that determine the degree of ice lost any given year — but the literature is clear that even in 2007, global warming played «a large part» (see «What drove the dramatic retreat of arctic sea ice during summer 2007?

It seems that part of the reason for the Holocene was that the Laurentide ice sheet had not completely melted, surpressing arctic temperatures.

And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of arctic ice every year at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...
