Like a lot of things, change happens slowly at first, but when oceans got very saturated with excess heat (most of heating goes into the oceans first), this will start to move much more rapidly. The same goes for ocean ice, it just kept getting thinner every year, so sea ice extent still looked good and was decreasing slowly when you look at satellite data. Now we might see ice-free Arctic in like 2-3 years, something that no one predicted would happen so quick.
