its not really a waste of money. the data they get from the ice and water will be run against data from other sites to help verify/disprove the other information. scientists then use that to determine paleoclimatic temps and pollutant levels proving or disproving the belief that we are in a major global warming. news flash, our planet is recent times has been much much warmer than it is now, with sea levels tens of meters higher. with a little bit of math (ok, a lot of math) they can calculate the temperature 20,000 years ago more accurately than what the temperature will be tomorrow. this link shows data from the past few hundred years. we are clearly cooler in the 2000s than the 1990s. [http://www.appinsys.com/globalwarming/AO\_NAO.htm#nao](http://www.appinsys.com/globalwarming/AO_NAO.htm#nao) look at the data is this link. oh snap, its the temperature at vostok! yes its warm now, but its been warmer. [http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/paleobefore.html](http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/globalwarming/paleobefore.html) it would suck if it was polluted though. maybe they can use vodka to keep it from freezing rather than kerosene lol ---
