We're back to Arctic Ice fearmongering...
It's amazing how leftists LOVE being scared with ridiculous lies and imaginary hobgoblins.
Based on NASA (who have been exposed for outright lies to fearmonger, in the past), 2021 TIED with 2007 as 7th lowest ice level "on record".
That's actually incorrect, but even if we took it at face value, ... where's the trend?
It means that we are back to HIGHER ice levels of 2007 and there is NO TREND towards less ice!
Let's not forget that the ENTIRE "arctic ice melting" panic is NOT based on the entire historical record, but starts in 1979, a year that was cherry picked, because 1979 had a particularly high ice level, while the previous years had very low ice levels.
If we compared current ice levels with 1972 to 1975, there would be nothing to be alarmed about.
Arctic ice extent varies widely, historically, and fearmongering about it is a fixture for over 100 years!
This study from April 2013 shows that Arctic temperatures varied widely over the last 2000 years, with periods that were much warmer than now:
Pairwise comparisons to reconstruct mean temperature in the Arctic Atlantic Region over the last 2,000 years

"Existing multi-proxy climate reconstruction methods assume the suitably transformed proxy time series are linearly related to the target climate variable, which is likely a simplifying assumption for many proxy records. Furthermore, with a single exception, these methods face problems with varying temporal resolutions of the proxy data. Here we introduce a new reconstruction method that uses the ordering of all pairs of proxy observations within each record to arrive at a consensus time series that best agrees with all proxy records. The resulting unitless composite time series is subsequently calibrated to the instrumental record to provide an estimate of past climate. By considering only pairwise comparisons, this method, which we call PaiCo, facilitates the inclusion of records with differing temporal resolutions, and relaxes the assumption of linearity to the more general assumption of a monotonically increasing relationship between each proxy series and the target climate variable. We apply PaiCo to a newly assembled collection of high-quality proxy data to reconstruct the mean temperature of the Northernmost Atlantic region, which we call Arctic Atlantic, over the last 2,000 years. The Arctic Atlantic is a dynamically important region known to feature substantial temperature variability over recent millennia, and PaiCo allows for a more thorough investigation of the Arctic Atlantic regional climate as we include a diverse array of terrestrial and marine proxies with annual to multidecadal temporal resolutions. Comparisons of the PaiCo reconstruction to recent reconstructions covering larger areas indicate greater climatic variability in the Arctic Atlantic than for the Arctic as a whole. The Arctic Atlantic reconstruction features temperatures during the Roman Warm Period and Medieval Climate Anomaly that are comparable or even warmer than those of the twentieth century, and coldest temperatures in the middle of the nineteenth century, just prior to the onset of the recent warming trend."
This study from 2019 also shows that temperatures were warmer during the 1930s than today:

The Northwest passage was actually OPEN during the 1940s.
There's ZERO evidence that there's anything happening that we should be concerned about - clearly, climate change is 100% natural and humanity has no influence on it.
100% of all the climate fearmongering over the past 80 years has turned out to be entirely wrong.
Ignorance defines leftists...
