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.
No it's not. It is an indication that the climate is changing, it is not an indication that we are doing it.
