Re: AIG comment on the Ice Age

The answer below I have heard, and it is consistent with what I was told by
a Columbia geologist who works on ice layers in Greenland. Where he works,
snowfall is quite limited; in other places, several feet annually.

One of my students brought this up recently. The facts (snow depth,
etc) don't exactly match yours below, and I didn't doublecheck their
information, but according to the authors at this link:
http://www.answersincreation.org/argument/G531_creation_science.htm
it was simply a matter of having landed in an area of high annual
precipitation. Other sites in Greenland barely got any snow cover in
several decades time -- it takes more than simple math of depth to
determine age, and nobody had ever claimed that the cores in question
were supposed to represent thousands of years (except maybe some excited
YECs).
