Climate controls the area burned through changing the dynamics of large - scale teleconnection patterns (Pacific Decadal Oscillation / El Niño Southern Oscillation and Arctic Oscillation, PDO / ENSO and AO) that control the frequency of blocking highs over the continent at different time scales......... Since the end of the Little Ice Age, the climate has been unusually moist and variable: large fire years have occurred in unusual years, fire frequency has decreased and fire — climate relationships have occurred at interannual to decadal time scales...... http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/363/1501/2315.short ----------------------

Secondly, you are now de facto claiming that unless sea ice area monotonically decreases, albedo is proved not to be a positive feedback.

This has likely delayed further ice loss in these areas, which together with the low SLP over the central Arctic Ocean, accounts in part for the recent decrease in the rate of ice loss seen in Figure 2.

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.

Reasoning for a decrease in sea ice extent from recent years, perhaps approaching new record - low minimum, focuses on the below - normal sea ice thickness overall, the thinning of sea ice in coastal seas, rotting of old multi-year sea ice, warm temperatures in April and May 2010, and the rapid loss of sea ice area seen during May.
