Fuzzy math: Arctic sea ice volume is allegedly decreasing both faster and slower than Arctic sea ice extent
Polar Science Center: The 'ice volume from PIOMAS for this summer...the change from 2011 to 2012 looks actually much less dramatic than the ice extent change and rather in line with previous year to year losses'
VS.
NSIDC research scientist Walt Meier: 'The volume is decreasing even faster than the extent [of surface area] as best as we can tell'
