"The above graph is a satellite measured temperature trace from January 1979 to January 2001, for 3.75S 36.25E, the same location as Kilimanjaro itself. More importantly, the satellites record temperatures in the free atmosphere between 1,000 and 8,000 metres altitude, Kilimanjaro being at 5,900 metres, right within the measured altitude range. Not only has there been no overall warming, but the coldest month in the entire series is actually the latest one.
Clearly, if one third of the glaciers have melted off during the last dozen years as Thompson says, it has certainly not been caused by atmospheric warming. That leaves only the sun, the obvious candidate anyway, and only ideological commitment to the UN-IPCC policies could blame man for what is obviously a natural process."
---I for one am just releived that glaciers from the last ice age are finally receding. When glaciers in the tropics start growing then I'll worry.
That analysis of MSU lower tropospheric temperatures has subsequently been shown to have substantial errors (much of this occurred after Mr. Daly's decease). All analyses of lower troposphere temperatures now show warming. There is less warming in the tropics compared to the middle and high latitudes, however. Nonetheless, the main cause of the decline of the Kilimanjaro glaciers is due to a decrease in the moisture supply, primarily caused by lower-slope deforestation.
