And yet, there is 26% more extent area with ice than in 2012.

I can take any two data points to prove any point I want. That's not how statistics work.

The Arctic is expected to be ice free by 2027. That is what matters when it comes to shipping.

No it's not. Literally from the study that the article was based on:

> the earliest ice-free conditions (the first single occurrence of an ice-free Arctic) *could* occur in 2020–2030s under all emission trajectories and are *likely* to occur by 2050

Cherry picking a data point is misleading. Rather than compare a record low year, why not look at a trend?
