"natural climate cycles predict that Arctic sea ice should recover within the next 5 to 15 years"

Why Antarctic Sea Ice Is the Better Climate Change Indicator | Watts Up With That?
[Jim Steele] As the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Arctic Oscillation shift to their cool phases and solar activity wanes, natural climate cycles predict that Arctic sea ice should recover within the next 5 to 15 years. Climate models have demonstrated that Arctic sea ice can recover in just a few years after the winds change.7 Allowing for a lag effect as subsurface heat ventilates and thicker multiyear ice begins to accumulate, recovery could be swift. If so, CO2 advocates like Mann and his allies who have based their political and scientific authority on predictions that Arctic Sea Ice will disappear by 2030 will likely suffer embarrassing unprecedented scientific and political repercussions.

What repercussions will you suffer if the Arctic loses all its sea ice in summer, and consequences start to kick ever more into gear?
