The basic physics behind this is that ice doesn’t melt at -30C.
Arctic sea ice extent is near the 1981-2010 median everywhere except for the Bering Sea.
Arctic sea ice is very thick, and volume continues to increase.

U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming
It is basic physics that ice doesn’t melt below the freezing point, and basic economics that many scientists will say whatever is necessary to keep funding coming in.
