The mythology about Mt. Kili is like a zombie. It doesn't matter how many times it is shot down, it rises up again.


Satellites and weather balloons show no warming in mid to high levels in the tropics. Only in the tinkertoy climate models does that happen but to alarmists that is reality. See John Christy plot of tropical temperatures in mid to high atmosphere from satellite below and enlarged here.).

"Changes in cloudiness and snowfall may also be involved, though they appear less important, according to the study. (Once again wrong. Thompson sees what he wants to see in the data. But temperatures below and enlarged here have declined at Kilimanjaro not risen

and precipitation below and enlarged here has declined due to deforestation and Atlantic Multidecadal changes. Also dust from drier ground is said to be darkening the ice and enhancing the melt.)

Even if warming was a factor...we didn't do it.

Cut the bogus crap, Judy!

Does ice disappear just because no more water is added to it? No, it disappears because it gets WARMER! Note that Kilimanjaro is near the equator, so seasonal temperature changes would not be an issue. Any warming would be year round and constant.

"Satellites and weather balloons show no warming in mid to high levels in the tropics. Only in the tinkertoy climate models does that happen but to alarmists that is reality."

Why? Because CO2 and most other greenhouse gases are heavier than the nitrogen and oxygen that make up most of the atmosphere, they will tend to be lower, thus trapping heat closer to the surface. The exception is water vapor, a greenhouse gas that is LIGHTER than nitrogen and oxygen molecules. But higher in the atmosphere, where it is cooler anyway, water vapor forms clouds that cool the earth, providing a counterbalance to the effects of the other greenhouse gases. Finally, heat flows naturally from warmer to cooler areas, so it is the poles, not the tropics, that should be warming the most. That's simple physics!

So the actual effects of global warming should be:

1. The lower atmosphere WARMING
2. The upper atmosphere COOLING
3. The poles warming MOST and the tropics warming slightly. But even that slight warming would be enough to melt ice on mountaintops where the temperatures have risen above the melting point of water. Like at Kilimanjaro.

this is horrible...

Thanks Maria!!!!

Gosh Judy do you read anything...this is a FACT and so unfortunately I am appalled that you do not think that this is happening...It is totally sad that there are others like you that deny this, I feel so sad that people do not realize what is happening to the WORLD and the environment.

Upsetting to me totally!

The receding snowline and glaciers are a pretty good clue to the fact temperatures are indeed rising at Kilimanjaro.
Whatever you think the cause is Judy it's an irrefutable fact.

We must be guided by the experts on these matters they study the situation constantly.
