On about July 10, 2007, the East Siberian Sea started losing ice very rapidly, and continued until mid-September. Thus the 2007 low. We are not seeing a repeat of this in 2011, as air temperatures in that region have been running cold and are forecast to remain that way.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

The AO has moved into positive territory in recent days and if it persists and/or deepens, this should result in helping throwing a wrench in the works.
Why would an increased AO throw a spanner in the works? An increased AO means a bigger polar vortex and so more winds pushing stuff out of the Framm and Nares straight if you believe the denialists on here and WUWT.
You guys normally just pound the wind driven drum, nice to sea someone from that side reconising melting in situe for once under a negative AO.

We are not seeing a repeat of this so far?

One thing is for certain, this is not 2006 like you have been hoping for all year. Suck it.
