That is misrepresenting what the article says. It doesn't say anything about beaches being underwater. It reports one prediction from one expert that the Arctic would be ice free within 4 years.
This prediction was too pessimistic, but I'm not sure what general point you are trying to make by cherry-picking one article from 14 years ago. Care to expand?
