<div>There have been claims from the anthropogenic warming is doubtful camp that there is a "recovery" in Arctic sea ice since the record low extent of summer 2007, that calls into question the science revealing human impacts on climate. While the current Arctic sea ice extent is higher than the record setting low 2007 summer season, the trend lines in the following graphs reveal that current sea ice this 2009 season does not indicate a "recovery" in Arctic sea ice to anywhere near the 1979-2000 average. The graphs reveal clearly that there are wide year to year variations in sea ice extent that are a result of weather variability, while the trend line continues to show a long term increasing decline in Arctic sea ice:</div>
