Equally true would be the statement "since the 1970s, when disco was king." You are still talking about around thirty years of data.
I've seen the original information from the NSIDC. There is indeed a slow downward trend in sea ice coverage during that short time period, although hardly a smooth one.
I don't know what the curve would look like if you ran it back a hundred more years. I suspect neither does anyone else.
"Oil companies?" The association of opposing views with The Devil is just one more indicator that this is becoming more about dogma than science. You are welcome to go over my posts on this subject and point to any specific science paper I've quoted that was funded by oil companies.
