Woes of Kilimanjaro

Who’d know better than the Jungle Trader that the snowless peak of Kilimanjaro as an icon of global warming was a lot of bunkum. Poppycock. Balderdash and rot.

Now, my good man, about that chota peg.

   Snows, shmows. Kilimanjaro matters because it’s the only place in the world where tanzanite is found. Worry if the mines run out.

   Yep, Kilimanjaro has been carefully analysed by climate and atmospheric scientists, and its glacier is very unusual.
   As the full article says:

   The fact that the loss of ice on Mount Kilimanjaro cannot be used as proof of global warming does not mean that the Earth is not warming. There is ample and conclusive evidence that Earth’s average temperature has increased in the past 100 years, and the decline of mid- and high-latitude glaciers is a major piece of evidence. But the special conditions on Kilimanjaro make it unlike the higher-latitude mountains, whose glaciers are shrinking because of rising atmospheric temperatures.
