So what? If "experts" act like political partisans when faced with other experts who disagree then they have obviously forgot their training. The concept should not be hard to understand: people who have confidence in their opinions do not feel the need to bully or attack colleagues that disagree. People who lack confidence do. We should all be concerned if "experts" lack confidence in their own claims.
Sure it is fact. So what? Why should we care? As soon as you try to answer that question you are not providing facts - you are providing *opinions*. Here is a article that looks at more facts and suggests the concerns about sea ice retreat are over done: https://judithcurry.com/2017/08/16/what-do-we-know-about-arctic-sea-ice-trends/ . Of course that is an opinion too that uses facts to support it.
Your article basically points out two facts with regard to sea ice, both the decrease in the Arctic, and the increase in the Antarctic, both caused by global warming. Increasing temps. at the south pole have caused increased evaporation followed by precipitation, and of course I'm sure you understand that when sea water evaporate it doesn't take the salt with it, and therefore the salt content of the surface water is reduced, allowing it to freeze at higher temps. It may be confusing to think that more ice can be caused by warming, but such is science.
