Sea ice doesn't do s*** if it isn't out there reflecting sunlight when it's at its most intense times - December and June.
And considering the warming trend and the ability of antarctic ice shelves to fall off into the ocean (possibly creating more "sea ice")... how long do you think smaller chunks will last?
The ice shelves are what matter... they're the biggest mass with the largest surface area, and they're responsible for reflecting back a lot of sunlight. When they're gone, we roast.
Also, considering you keep referring to "An Inconvenient Truth" I'll assume you watched it, have you considered the fact that all of the glaciers in the movie have actually disappeared / largely disappeared?
Ice that is tens of thousands of years old shouldn't be disappearing within a hundred years. It's not right. We ARE amping up the temperature of this planet and nothing good will come of it.
