[page 6] The Arctic ice—where polar bears live, hunt, and even den—has been melting so fast that scientists estimate the entire Arctic summer could be ice-free within just a few years.
Ice is melting so fast, that the area is now above normal – and the highest for the date in seven or eight years.

Even if were true that the Artic would be ice-free, I fail to see why that is a bad thing.
To CAGW alarmists, all the consequences are bad.
