Did you not see the rubric that announced "recent 365 days shown", or
note that the anomaly has been between 0.5 and 3 million square km for
everyone of those 365? It's good you recognise you may be an idiot.
Then it will come as less of a shock when the truth strikes home.

Despite the colder N. Hemisphere winter, the Arctic sea ice coverage
is yesterday (May 18th) virtually identical to this time last year. It
may be seen at:
