Hmmmm, I figured there would be all kinds of people screaming "The sky is falling, The sky is falling... bann cars, oil, power plants etc.

But there wasn't. Probably because none of those people would be able to explain the great drought on our earth over 4000 years ago.

I mean, we had so many factories, industries, and cars back then.

And where was the jubillation from the environmentalists when data suggesting the hole in the ozone was shrinking was released?

Hmmmm.

Ah, yes, the great planet-wide wet period about 11500 years ago when the ice age glaciers were melting rapidly, followed by planet-wide dry periods about 6000 years ago and 4000 years ago, when the planet cooled briefly.

So, they admit that the Kilimanjaro ice cap formed during an unusually wet period, and shrinks during each unusually dry period. I wonder who or what was releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases during those earlier periods?

“Kilimanjaro...(snip)...has its own international airport and some 20,000 tourists every year.

I know this probably makes no sense thermodynamically...but could the
temperature rise have anything to do with...
thousands of "eco-tourists" jetting in and out from the base of Kilimanjaro aboard
at least turbo-props (and maybe jets)...
thousands of climbers venturing onto the ice, setting their camp stoves and giving off
their body heat, not to mention giving off calories when they have to meet "the call of nature"...
or the hot air balloon rides people make over the summit?

(I saw a special of someone doing the hot-air balloon thang on TV maybe 10 years ago).

If things are really that serious...maybe the guvmint needs to tell people to
"stay away for 10 years and lets see what happens".

But of course, it's the money that matters...
(and honestly, I don't know if keeping people away would make any differnce...)

“Kilimanjaro is the No. 1 foreign currency earner for the government of Tanzania,” said Thompson. “It has its own international airport and some 20,000 tourists every year.

A little less than half of the DAILY attendance at Disney World in Florida.

Just so we put this tourism crisis in perspective....

Geologically Killamanjaro is a tripple Volcano and the melting of the ice sheets could be a significant change or a precursor of a eruption.
