Is it snowing a lot at the poles?

Question

The next statement comes from a mars question I found:
(on mars) The CO2 accumulates as snow at the poles, so that lower latitudes can be assumed to be somewhat warmer.

To me the co2 extraction is interesting. sounds like co2 is caught and dumped with the snow on the poles. That sounds like sequestering sp?, a process being looked into here. Means trap it and store it underground.

Gores movie showed co2? and contaminate? build up in the ice layers. Obvious layers were visible in the ice. Is that still happening? I wonder what the layers look like? If its not snowing at the poles then how/ where are the contaminates going? That system has been going on for years+++. Is it still working?

Can you make heads or tails of this?

Answer 1

It snows very little at the poles. Antarctica is a desert and gets hardly any precipitation on the plateau. It gets more on the coast.

Answer 2

yes
