But when you check the data - yes, summer 2013 had more ice than summer 2012 - but the
trend is still clearly DOWNWARDS!
(And before anyone asks: The units on the vertical axis are "millions of square kilometres" - the volume / mass loss trend is MUCH stronger, in both summer and winter, because the thickness is decreasing significantly in both summer and winter.)
