At the current rate of sea level rise, my house will be flooded in
about 100,000 years. I'm praying for an ice age.

Wel, it has gained over a trillion tons of ice in the last 2 years,
and of course they didnt mention it. Going for the shock factor I
guess

I hate it when they do that. 11 billion tons is equivalent to
about 6mm of ice. Nothing spectacular to lose that much in one
summer day. But they have a point to make, haven't they?

Apparently it's been going on for 4 months (a very early
start, 6mm * 120 days is 0.7m) and now picking up steam.
But it looks like the alarm bells are coming from the
researchers, who are in a better place than the rest of
us to be alarmed or not.
My eyebrows went up when the temp at the north pole went
above 65F recently. This after the temps at the north
pole were higher than here in Boston, at various times
during the winter. How can you not be alarmed at that?
And the ice cover thickness and extent scene is very bad.

Why should they bother? Local climate variations happen as the ocean currents move around. The Multidecadal Atlantic oscillation (discovered in 1993) explains that kind of local effect, and there may be even slower oscillations that we haven't noticed yet.
That's what the label says.

Yes, but no one researches into previous massive melts such as around
900AD. There is Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska that is melting and
exposing a forest - which was in existence about 1000 years ago. How
long does it take to grow a forest?

The reality is the warming will be very slow. Nothing will happen in a year, or even a decade. But if we continue to let the decades slide by without action, we will certainly find ourselves living in a different world where climates in many places have changed.
Heck, it is entirely possible John will get his snow year round for skiing. Well, for a while anyway.
