Kilimanjaro is a volcano. That might have something to do with it...
You can't underestimate the importance of actually reading the article. The scientists actually say one possibility is that it's just snowing less up there right now. Then they reject that hypothesis. Presumably because it does nothing to enhance global warming theory. Meanwhile, there are entire regions of Africa that supported millions of people for tens of thousands of years facing starvation because of decades long droughts.
For decades, they—the experts—have been proclaiming that Mt. Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano. Imagine the ruckus in that ‘expert’ community when its found that Mt. Kilimanjaro is beginning the cycle of becoming active. lulz!
At any rate, the libtard wacko global warming/climate change alarmist love to use Mt. Kilimanjaro as an example of proof....how quaint that it is once again being brought up.
Mt Kil is an inactive volcano with no eruptions in recorded history...that has nothing to do with it.
The climate changes...naturally. Don't use liberal-like logic to try and explain the fact that its warmer up there. :-) Parts of the globe can cool...and others can warm...at the same time. It's a natural cycle.
If hikers were hiking up Mt Kil during the Roman warm period...or the midieval warm period...I imagine they would have seen the same thing happen: A retreating glacier.
Same thing happened in Switzerland. They are retreating. However, during the little ice-age...the priests were trying to exercise the ice demon coming down the side of the mountain...'cause it was new.
The climate changes and that means that sometimes it warms. There are certain points on this planet where it is cooler (like here!) and there are certain areas where there is no debate it is warmer. We can't be like liberals and pick and choose. They do that. They take one piece of data and say "see!" Like they are doing here. However, some on our side do the same thing...only in reverse.
It's the man-made aspect of it we need to debate with vigor...using examples from the past.
Oh hell no. That can’t possibly be.
Just AS it can’t possibly be that underwater volcanic activity has contributed to the decline of polar icecaps (National Geographic: Fire and Ice (mostly scrubbed by now due to being ‘inconvenient’, except for Iceland reference).
And of course, the fact that scientists have found that the earth is cooling, not warming, has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the reason the envirowackos changed their main bleat to Climate Change from Global Warming. Nah.
