Perry where did you get that graphic? May We see its context please?
He got it from Steven Goddards site which is typical of all 'skeptic' sites in that they ignore the big picture (35 years of satellite data for the Arctic Sea ice) and keep shuffling the recent past.
As for the quote box saying that the Arctic has gained "thick multi-year ice" that is an atrocious lie. This year has seen the near disappearance of ice thicker than 15 feet.
As you can compare the ice thickness charts below for 2012/09/08 and 2015/09 there's a greater area of thinner ice for this year compared to the great melt (In area only) of 2012. Measurements are in meters (3.28 feet per meter).
