Well my excercise was more something I did for fun, of course it isn't really applicable to the arctic sea as a whole. I mean if all the ice melted I'm sure it'd have many other effects on for example, the salinity.
As for the article in OP, from what I've gathered in the second post in this thread and on slashdot was that the information has come from a non-reliable source.
I don't think we'll be able to reverse the unusually rapid global climate change that seems to be occuring. If people actions are a major contributer, greenhouse gas emissions will not be cut back anywhere near far enough to effect a change. If people's impact is negligible it still seems as there may be major and relativley rapid changes to the world's climate we'll have to deal with.
This doesn't mean that I think we shouldn't try to reduce these emissions. Not many people would be up for a major lifestyle change to do that though, so progress is rather slow.
