But as a starting point, I'll propose now — and I'll change this if they disagree — the names of some leading scientists in this field who would NOT say there is sufficient evidence to conclude that human - caused global warming IS the main cause of increasing summer retreats of sea ice (although they would say there is strong likelihood that it will eventually dominate):

Should we have anomalously strong southerly winds this summer like last summer, that would trigger another big ice - albedo effect, leading to a big summer ice retreat again.

Most of the WAIS is grounded below sea level and has the potential to collapse if grounding - line retreat triggers a strong positive feedback whereby ocean water undercuts the ice sheet and triggers further separation from the bedrock (35 ⇓ — 37).

If ice retreats and there is strong upwelling, these copepods could end up on the inner shelf and possibly outcompete smaller zooplankters.
