The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.

The article to which you refer cites one source, which is http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosph....withtrend.jpg

If you look at that source, you will see that it has been updated, and conditions that existed prior to 2012 have changed significantly. That source shows 2016 had less polar ice than any earlier year in the satellite record.
