pretty much, considering all the dust storms in tibet and wild monsoon seasons sweeping up from India, really I have no idea how they claim to compare ice from that part of the world to a comparatively quiet plateau in Peru. china is famous for it's dust storms, i even saw a photo of a real bad one that happened just a couple months ago, the photo was from Beijing I think.

one also has to wonder how all the ice in all these glaciers has been around in all those places for tens of thousands of years fitting so well into the pre-desired data certain researchers are looking for, and yet according to the US Geological Survey, not a single glacier in Alaska contains ice that is more than 100 years old.

3. Today's glaciers are leftovers from the ice age … and … Glacier ice is "really old."

Sort-of and no - we must distinguish between glaciers and the ice in glaciers. Like the difference between rivers and the water in rivers: it takes a few weeks for water to travel the full length of the Mississippi river; however there has been a Mississippi River for thousands of years. Likewise, glaciers have existed in the mountains ever since the ice age, but glacier flow moves the snow and ice through the entire length of the glacier in 100 years or less. So, most of the glacier ice in Alaska is less than 100 years old! Therefore, most of the glacier ice is not ice-age leftovers.

and tibetan glaciers don't even reveal any sign of radiation from WWll. They haven't grown? Maybe, maybe not, doubtful even, maybe they just flow quickly.

yet, some people still want to believe the earth is static.

In parts of Alaska too, CTD, they really do get over 300' feet of snow per year, pretty reliably. they helicopter you up to the tops of mountains and you have to find your way back to town. really.
