I have already written that Arctic Ice was declining in 1980-2005 during the rebound from the "New Ice age" and stayed flat after 2006.
We have exactly as much Arctic ice coverage today as 14 years ago, the opposite of a hockey stick.
Arctic Ice was also declining in the 1940s and 50s and went up again. Cherry picking the 1970s high point to begin is misleading.

Same hysteria back then... catastrophic collapse, rising sea levels, swamp seaports
