Here's the Arctic sea ice extent as of today:

Note that the deepwater route through the northwest passage is open for the first time in at least five years (not sure if it's been open in the past few decades or not).

Here's a graph that shows the trend in arctic sea ice extent anomalies for the end of July...

Minimum sea ice extent occurs in september, so we still have a ways to go. Previous low was in 2005.... So to sum up, we're almost certainly going to have another record low year.

Take it how ever you want... I think it's a pretty strong indication of what we're doing.
