This year “will without a doubt” rank in the top five lowest levels of ice extent ever recorded in the satellite era, and there is a good possibility that 2013 could rank second in terms of recorded ice lows, said Walt Meier, a scientist at the National Snow & Ice Data Center.

Looks like 2013 will finish at seventh lowest.

Dear Mr. Meier, You “will without a doubt” prove your stupidity every time you make a prediction like that.
Did not even look at the CFSV2, his own model, which showed much less melt vs last year
It seems that in our modern world of post-normal science we’ve gone from predicting to forecasting to saying-it-makes-it-so.
