The melting of the glaciers on Mt. Kilimanjaro is a simple, local event. The water came from the heavy humidity of forests that USE to surround the mountains, and updrafts brought it up and deposited on the peaks. Natives slash/burned the forests, so the water stopped rising. In this particular case it is 100% explainable and simple to reverse, replant the forests, don't cut them down, and eventually they will grow thicker again.

So what we need to do is instead of sending aid that seldom reaches those that truly need it we need to get to planting trees.

having an airport located at the base of the mountain, having thousands of
"eco-tourists" pee, poop and breath on it, and also fly hot air balloons
over it...
...and they wonder why there's a local warming event going on?

"Environmentalists"...always a contributor to environmental
degradation as long as they draw breath.
