Description
The internet is all aflutter with loony-toons claiming Arctic ice is at a "record high" and that this, apparently, is evidence against climate change.
The reality is that it's only a "record high" within a very short span, and across the past few decades, it has steadily shrunk without fully recovering.
Any and all records of Arctic ice demonstrate this fact, and it's not like it's difficult data to get wrong. We're talking about the size of an ice cap, here. Pretty hard to miss.
This is the extent to which denialists will go to convince you that Global Warming is all a big sham; they'll deny the very face of the planet if they have to.

For anyone interested it's really not much of a mystery Antarctic Sea Ice is expanding, it has two closed ocean currents that circle around it pushing out all the warm water, and warming oceans is the main cause of arctic melting. When antarctic ice does melt, that freezing melt water just makes the Antarctic Circumpolar Current that much colder, it basically comes with it's own refrigerator.
No such luck in the northern hemisphere, arctic sea ice around the north pole is not at a record highs on average it's warming up and melted ice doesn't feed a circumpolar barrier, it just gets dragged into warmer waters.
