Well, if it is the start of an ice age, those transitions tend to
happen extremely fast in geologic terms. Sort of like a sudden
viscous winter storm that doesn't stop for 200,000 years.

In reality, the part of the story about arctic sea ice increasing 27%
since 2007 is typical media rabble rousing. 2007 saw the least arctic
sea ice on record so any subsequent year would likely see an increase
even though the overall trend is steeply down.

Seeing the Arctic ocean clear of ice in summer within the next decade
is still a plausible bet. If it does happen, there will be political
havoc on the right.
