Yereth Rosen, are you aware that the "Ice Age for the Arctic Basin" chart you are showing has been shown to be a fraud?  It has been flipped to intentionally misrepresent the age of the ice, where the older ice has been increasing, this shows that the older ice is decreasing.  NSIDC didn't manage to hide all the old charts and got caught red handed.  I look forward to the clarifying article.
