Kilimanjaro is a volcano. That might have something to do with it...

The ice that covered Yosemite valley has also all melted. Leaving a beautiful valley that is now a National Park...the world will survive no matter what happens to Mt Kilimanjaro.

How long have these mountain peaks had unmelted glaciers on them? Thousands or millions of years?

Every five years for the last fifty we have had the same story.

Mts. Kilimanjaro and Kenya are directly on the equator! I’d bet that over the past 6,000 years, the white caps of those mountains have been steadily decreasing. It may be more noticeable now since Africa has been in a 30-year drought cycle. Ergo, less snow

We came out of the Little Ice Age in about 1850. And ever since, some glaciers have been shrinking.

I feel no guilt.

Glaciers have been melting on Kilamanjaro for hundreds of years. Deforestation on lower levels by villagers has sped up the melting because of dryer air now around the mt. Has nothing to do with warming, as anyone who as actually studied the history of the mt would know.

Somebody somewhere from the left will make use of it though. Perhaps Hussein will see it as a “reason” for pouring more billions into the black hole of Africa. What a trade he made for the US-we send them our money, they send us their HIV/AIDS positive denizens as “immigrants”. He’s a slick horse trader, that Hussein.

We need to do something to restore the precious Yosemite Glacier. How can this rape of our planet be allowed to continue???
