Dude, if you don't understand the science, then please stop embarassing yourself and read a little. I'd personally be delighted if there were indeed a reversal, but the problem is twofold.
The weather for this year was extremely unusual and there has been a massive decrease in old core ice as well as the thickness of the ice. Much of the arctic is now less than one year old!. As you'd no doubt know, the surface of the water is much easier to freeze than the deep and it is the loss of the deep core ice which is a forewarning of some serious shit in the future.
