Here's the headline for a recent AP story: "Arctic sea ice shrinks to record low"

Here's the first paragraph: "There was less sea ice in the Arctic on Friday than ever before on record, and the melting is continuing, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported."

The amount of ice has fallen about 1.5 percent in two years.

Here's the 7th paragraph: "Scientists began monitoring the extent of Arctic sea ice in the 1970s when satellite images became available."

So the headline could read: "Slight reduction in Arctic ice, to lowest level in 35 years."
