John P. Reisman (OSS Foundation): Most likely outcome is that the Arctic ice volumes could be decreasing further in forthcoming decade, while both N. Europe and N.E. US winters get much colder.
Wili: As ice volume decreases, the fraction of volume which is new ice increases, and hence the year to year variability in new ice becomes a larger fraction of the total ice volume variability, so I don't think the smoothed downward slope will stay as smooth, i.e. you should expect bigger surprises to the upside on a given winter if it is cold and has heavy snow fall.
Furthermore, Prof. Slingo rejected data which shows a decline in Arctic sea ice volume of 75 % and also rejected the possibility that further decreases may cause an immediate collapse of ice cover.
The ice loss amounts to a freshwater volume which should have made an important contribution to the observed decrease in salinity in the northern Atlantic — probably including the «great salinity anomaly» of the 1970s, famous amongst oceanographers.
And you still haven't addressed that; extrapolation of area obviously still ignores the decreasing ice thickness and hence, volume.

It also appears that the sea ice volume continues its steady decrease, and has set a new record low — that story is getting some coverage:
[2] «If Earth's climate continues to warm, then the volume of present - day ice sheets will decrease.
That this year's record low is happening three weeks earlier than previous lows means that the 2012 ice extent and volume will continue to decrease even more until sea ice begins to regrow again in early fall.
Glacial periods give way to interglacials on some occasions when the Northern Hemisphere's summer solar insolation (the amount of solar radiation received by Earth's surface) increases alongside corresponding decreases in ice volume and increases in temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
The ice volume increase occurs when the oceans are warm and wet and the advance continues long after the snowfall stops and the ice volume is already decreasing.
The results of their mission confirm the predicted trend of the decreasing sea ice volume in the Arctic basin.
Even the winter ice volume has decreased 25 - 30 % since 1979 so that is spiraling too.

Even though the area of Antarctic ice has increased in recent years the volume has fallen so, with sea ice extents, it isn't simply a question of deducting one increase from another decrease.
There is low confidence in projected nearterm decreases in the Antarctic sea ice extent and volume.
There Is No Uncertainty Monster Multiple redundant surveys show plainly that global ice volume - on - land is decreasing without pause or obvious limit.
Arctic sea - ice volume decreases to the lowest point on record — a planetary state previously predicted to arrive after 2050.

The sea ice recovery is just some natural variation on the overall trend of decreasing sea ice volume, extent and area.
Sea ice volume has decreased, even as sea ice extent has not.
The volume of sea ice is also decreasing.
The really deep ice keeps flowing and ice extent increases cooling for many years after the ice volume maxes and starts decreasing.
Although ice volume and deep ocean temperature changes contributed comparable amounts to δ18O change on average over the full range from 35 Myr to 20 kyr BP, the temperature change portion of the δ18O change must decrease as the deep ocean temperature approaches the freezing point [43].
Despite inconsistencies in the published research, there is overall agreement that scenarios indicate a general decrease in ice volumes in HMA (23, 17).
3) The Arctic sea ice extent and volume have continued to decrease, the lowest extent in September was the eighth lowest ever recorded.

Record droughts in many areas of the world, the loss of arctic sea ice — what you see is an increasing trend that is superimposed on annual variablity (no bets on what happens next year, but the five - to - ten year average in global temperatures, sea surface temperatures, ocean heat content — those will increase — and ice sheet volumes, tropical glacier volumes, sea ice extent will decrease.
Still worse, ice volume may be decreasing faster than ice extent.
