I notice that you haven't addressed anything I actually wrote.
Funny thing about your fixation with the Arctic ice which hasn't disappeared as previously predicted, is that when one looks at the yearly maximum Arctic sea ice extent, there hasn't been much change at all in the last 15 years

In a warmer ocean, wouldn't one expect both minimum and maximum sea ice extent to drop significantly, rather than just one of them?
