Not correct as if you look carefully at the graph this is as the title
of this thread indicated, the FIRST time it reached less than the 2007
level this year.

That's not strictly true. Look he

The problem is you are just handing ammunition to the deniers who will
claim it is just weather.

The point you should be making is that those graphs show that sea ice
is well below the 1979 - 2000 average. In fact it is significantly
outside the 2 sigma standard deviation, making it clear that there has
been a climate change there since 2007 at least. If we have another
2007 type event then the sea ice may not recover by the following
spring, and then it is goodbye sea ice :-(
