Don't listen to these climate deniers, for most of them can't even differentiate climate and weather. Currently, as of 2014, the arctic is in a bit of a phase where there is not much melting happening. Over a long period of time, this small change could make a huge difference. The melting is expected to occur faster over the next couple years, which is determined by looking at trends. That is why they call it CLIMATE change not WEATHER change.

Ever since the industrial era when we started building a lot of factories and putting carbon in the air, the arctic ice has been melting faster and faster. The carbon producing objects we produce is consistent with the increase in temperature. Coincidence? I think not!

An out of date article with a 2001 photo, from an Indian newspaper, come on now, just the normal sensational catastrophic media reporting.

You are looking at an article from 2010, maybe you should look at something a little more up to date, like this article from yesterday.

Myth of arctic meltdown: Stunning satellite images show summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7million square kilometres MORE than 2 years ago...despite Al Gore's prediction it would be ICE-FREE by now

Why yes it does melt in the summer .

It's a myth. You should be more worried about all the GMO's that are being thrown into our food supply.

OR, were all those patches always ponds every summer?
