As so often the case, the headline misrepresents the person interviewed - yeah, like boneheads' senate snowball.

Same article: While this is “good news” [ice formed in Greenland!, lol] on a temporary basis, this is bad news on the long term because it tells scientists that ocean temperature is a bigger player in glacier retreats and advances than previously thought, said NASA climate scientist Josh Willis, a study co-author. Over the decades the water has been and will be warming from man-made climate change, he said, noting that about 90 percent of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases goes into the oceans.
“In the long run we’ll probably have to raise our predictions of sea level rise again,” Willis said.

... would be a “grave mistake” to interpret the latest data as contradicting climate change science.

What’s happening, Joughin said, is “to a large extent, a temporary blip. Downturns do occur in the stock market, but overall the long term trajectory is up. This is really the same thing.”

Or, as some moving average traders like to say "The Trend is (not ;( Ur Friend"

To be fair to the poster, they did close their comment "The scientists thought this [thaw] reversal was temporary"

To be unfair they cock-a-doodle-dooed the headline and asked why "we" lie about there being a climate crisis.
