SoSick seems to want to try to prove that the ground is warm everywhere, even though her example of the existence of permafrost would seem to put the final nail in that particular coffin. We're not talking about ice cores in relation to basal flow.

Before we talk about why you seem to think that basal flow of glaciers is another example of scientists making stuff up, and rubbish my relative's decades of field work on the subject, I question why we're even on this subject in the first place. Every time I go back to the original subject and ask why the layers of ice cores and varves that RAZD presented, plus tree ring data, correspond so well, strangely neither of you has an answer. I'm not particularly amused by this dodge because this chat ceases to be amusing when someone close to me puts her life and soul into this subject, her job is very important to her and she does it well, and people who can't even be bothered to find out what the temperature is in Antarctica, and who think that the ground should be warm everywhere, think they're qualified to say she's wrong. You haven't the first idea of what people like her actually do or what they actually know and it shows in every post you are making here.
