Quotes like this are helpful if the context of time is included!
I am aware that the Arctic ice was melting greater than it has recently, and typically there has been a big melt of Arctic ice every summer, then there is a freeze again . . . this is a different and more acute cycle,
AFAIK, than the Antarctic ice.
