Answer 1

It's saying there's a possibility that this summer the ice will melt fully.  It will re-freeze in winter, but we've never not had year-round ice at the north pole, so we don't really know exactly what will happen.

Answer 2

hi you

what this article is saying is that this summer the will melt in the north pole and they wont have snow for the summer anyway

Answer 3

Organisms whose existence is predicated upon year-round ice will have their continued existence jeopardized and water levels will rise, increasing the possibility of flooding.
