Am not.  :-)

You mean that is not the title?
1. I do try to use current data.
2. The title is as I described.

That being said, the chart was very small on my display.  I zoomed in
on the title and didn't look any further.

Wow.  You are really full of yourself.

The original append was extent of coverage.  Notice that as much ice
was lost last autumn, that loss was made up.  The cycle is balanced.

Your data doesn't go back very far.  You have no idea what the
historical variation actually is. Of course that wont stop you from
drawing conclusions from too little data.
