5. That's *why* the satellites don't cover it.
Could it be any more obvious?

Scroll through it frame by frame. After July 27 there's an obviouis change. The ice is breaking up.

8. How many more days of this trainwreck are there to go this year?
At this rate, we'll have TWO icecaps by the end of the Arctic summer.

10. There are "new" year-round shipping lanes in the Canadian Arctic
Historically they've been open just in July and August; now they're ice-free all year.

We're screwed, basically.
