I have not yet read the whole article, so maybe I shouldn't even comment? Either way here comes a few quick thoughts:

1. It's local - and not global (and so far not an recurring event).

2. Are we talking about young or old ice here? The older ice is thicker and contains less salt than younger ice does. That means they can last longer during warmer periods.

3. It's Alaska - home of Palin the climate denier and oil industry. :cute:

Hey, we could be looking at a new Ice Age here! Be a little open minded! :rolleyes:
