The debate actually is over…and the idea that human emissions of carbon dioxide will cause any significant degree of global warming has been categorically refuted and falsified. The empirically-measured change in the amount of energy radiating away from the Earth as a function of changes in sea surface temperature totally falsifies the IPCC climate models--and more importantly, completely falsifies the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis—total, categorical falsification, not simply invalidation of the alleged "proof" based on computer climate models:

This is pure hokum. Kilimanjaro is a rather unexceptional mountain and the advance of forest clearing and agriculture up its slopes has changed the local climate dramatically, curtailing rainfall on the higher slopes. The proposition that this has something to do with "global warming" has been seriously discredited for some years now.

And in a related story, the Glaciers that historically covered the Great Lakes of Northern USA have melted, and have not so recently completely dissappeared ! !
However, the Great lakes have been known to still freeze during the North American Winter, and are expected to again Freeze this year.....That would be 2010-11, in the Al Gorian period of excessive Hot Air Bloviation period.

The glaciers that deposited many large rocks in Northern Iowa just can't be found anyplace any more. Nobody seems to be worrying about it.

I did visit Alaska in September and can report that I saw many glaciers. The one a sea level just outside of Juneau is reported to be declining, but didn't hear that about any of the others.

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.

But you see the alarmists don't care about history or facts.

All they care about is convencing enough airheads that what thay say is true.

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.

ALL - see post 13.

Deforestation by local villagers = dryer air around the mountain = less percipitation on the mountain = less snow.

Kaiser Wilhelm put that ice up there as a prank when he gave it to Queen Victoria for her birthday.
She said “We are not amused by that little willie”
