blobby look at the graph down the bottom right, a few weeks ago world wide ice levels were above normal, now they are normal. There is now long term increasing or decreasing trend. You can't argue against the sats.
You mention the arctic. Yes, as shown on this graph:
http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/sea.ice.anomaly.timeseries.jpgthe arctic ice levels are amongst the lowest in the last 30 years, although there has been a massive rise in the last 3 months.
But you fail to mention the antarctic, which as shown here:
http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/current.anom.south.jpgis at its highest level since 1979. So the arctic is at near record lows, the antarctic is at near record highs, and hence as the first graph shows, global ice levels are on average with long term increasing or decreasing trends.
Unless global warming only attacks the northern hemisphere, there appears to be no long term threat to global ice levels.
