…if you lose the summer sea ice, there are phenomena that could lead you not so very long thereafter to lose the winter sea ice as well. And if you lose that sea ice year round, it’s going to mean drastic climatic change all over the hemisphere.

The money quote from the conclusions…….
“[24] Hence, we find that even dramatic perturbations of summer sea!ice cover in the Arctic are reversible on very short time scales of typically two years. This suggests that a so!called tipping point, which would describe the sudden irreversible loss of Arctic summer sea ice during warming conditions, is unlikely to exist.”
