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?

Yeah, maybe it was all the methane from Dino and Fred Flinstone. It just really irritates me that Al Bore was all about the hole in the Ozone layer, but in his most recent "head out of the sand speeches" he says nothing about it getting smaller.

I bet you he wanted to say something dumb like, "Yah, and that's because of all the tings people are doing as a result of my book", but his advisors stopped him before he could. Darn.
