Has the significant change between 2015 and 2016 in amount of global sea ice area between explained?
It doesn't follow the trend (even if it's a decreasing one) at all and screams 'broken methodology' to me.
Ice formation tends to scale with temperature.

there have been many, but none as intense as this in recent history, http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/elnino/make_enso_plot_v2.R.gif
that's historically, and here's some recent UAH data http://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH-v6-LT-with-2016-projection.jpg

The lower tropospheric temperature anomoly for 2016 was really unprecedented, as shown by the NASA GISS data and the helpful article they included which explains how this relates to ice loss:

That's because it is. Sea ice extent is a bad metric because it's influenced by a lot more than just average temperature. Sea ice volume, however, correlates nicely with average temperature.

I read a dutch blog about the weather every day, I can send you the link if you want to. They have covered the global ice extent multiple times, and this is what they concluded:
-There was significantly more sea ice around the antarctic, because of the excessive amounts of ice that slid into the ocean by glacial melt
-This cause global amounts of sea ice to be roughly around "average" (no accounting for thickness)
-The extra melt at the antarctic that turned into sea ice compensated the decline in the north pole
My own assumption:
-However for some reason (I haven't read into this) el nino, or whatever caused the excessive sea ice to melt fast in the antarctic, because wind patterns changed [they used to keep the ice around the south pole such that the melting process was quite slow] such that the ice moved to warmer regions and melted. This results in the large decline we are seeing now.
-Plus the temperatures at the nort pole are 20C above usual due to persistant southern winds, causing no new sea ice to grow.
-Plus the summer minimum at the antarctic is comming
=> we have record low amounts of sea ice
Can someone tell about co2 cycle.volcano release co2 part of cycle of life.Doesnt matter how much we try to stop it.Nature follow the course.Right?

I think your brain is broken. You're in urgent need of a brain transplant.

I don't know to what extend you are serious. Due to your poor writing I cannot tell if you're being a troll or retarded.
In case not, have a read:
