Science Odds and Ends

First, a quick Google search for "snow Mount Kilimanjaro" yields many news stories, but all from 2008 except for this one, which came from Right Wing News http://rightwingnews.com/page/2/ (but is no longer available to open and read in its entirety), and this one from a tourism site: http://www.eturbonews.com/21762/snow-sl ... ilimanjaro It's possible that they are presenting older news (they don't cite any scientific studies from which they based their article) in a rose-colored glasses light in order to protect their livelihood; if you read the article, they definitely have a tourism bias (and snow-capped mountains are a draw to be protected).
Regardless, here's what the science has to say:

Global warming occurs on a global scale. While this one mountain may be gaining back some of its snow mass, it in no way negates AGW as a whole. Regional variations are natural and expected; some regions will have more snowfall, colder temps, glacier growth, etc, but on the whole, temps are rising and glaciers are melting.
As for making predictions 7-9 years away, of course they are, and even further out - climate change isn't fast-acting. Those predictions were made before any snow accumulation was seen in 2008, and does not mean that they aren't still relevant - all of the predictions come with varying degrees of confidence (and they are spelled out in the IPCC report so you see which are more likely/have more data backing them up than others). Yes, the IPCC had issues with its reporting of projected Himalayan glacier melt, which does not impact Mt Kilimanjaro, but here's the explanation of that anyway: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar ... -and-spin/
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

TPP, thanks for the opportunity to address this specific topic!TPP wrote: Guess What’s Building On Mount Kilimanjaro?
William Teach
Standing as the highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro is slowly regaining its snow after several years of drought in East Africa and the effects of climate change in African continent.
Sigh. They should have stopped after "drought." And let's not forget that the major cause of the loss of Kilimanjaro's snow was due to the loss of the forests around the Mount, which, yes, was man caused, but was a local condition, much like NYC is much hotter than the surrounding country side. Anyhow
The snow is slowly mounting on the top point of the mountain, giving new hopes to Mount Kilimanjaro environmental watchdogs and tourists that the mountain may not lose its beautiful ice cap as scientists predicted.
Covered in mist most of the day, Mount Kilimanjaro is the most tourist attractive site in Tanzania, pulling in tens of thousands of tourists each year. The snow, which once disappeared in some parts of the mountain is mounting slowly, giving a beautiful view of the Kibo peak.
But, of course
Environmentalists warn that this highest peak in Africa could lose its ice cover and glaciers between 2018 and 2020 unless global campaigns to save the mountain’s ecology are taken.
So, their bat guano theory wasn't working out, so, they have to make a prediction 7-9 years away. They just won't give up on insanity. I'm sure they will figure out a way to link the increased snow cover to globull warming, though.
algore please explain, or will you admit that man-made global warming is bullsh*t?

(My emphasis added)For global temperature time series we have GISTEMP, NCDC and HadCRUT. Each has worked hard to assimilate global temperature data into reliable and accurate indices of global temperature. The equivalent for alpine glaciers is the World Glacier Monitoring Service’s (WGMS) http://www.geo.uzh.ch/microsite/wgms/ record of mass balance and terminus behavior. The health of an alpine glacier is typically determined by monitoring the behavior of the terminus and/or its mass balance. Glacier mass balance is the difference between accumulation and ablation (melting and sublimation) and can be altered by climate change caused variations in temperature and snowfall.
The figure [on the right] is the annual glacier mass balance index from the WGMS
In 2005 there were 442 glaciers examined, 26 advancing, 18 stationary and 398 retreating – implying that “only” 90% are retreating.

Can't agree, But so be it...
How can, the suface temp. decrease when the "greenhouse gases" increase?
What happen in the 1960's to cause such an increase? all the flag burning? roits?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_controversy
http://www.takeonit.com/question/5.aspx
I'LL go with sun spots/flares & such...
As you admit "In science, no nothing is for absolute sure" Next they'll be blaming farts for global warming, o they have already. And that humans are the cause of CO2 pollution. O they have already, EVERYBODY STOP BREATHING!
So, tomorrow, they find out that it's the oceans, or birds, or whales, or a passing rock, or... or... or... that cause global warming? And then they'll all say "Opps! we were wrong, sorry! Sorry for all the new regulations, taxes, & politics!", and of course the regulations, taxes, & politics will stay in place.
How can so many be so wrong/or right at the same time?
Plant a tree, they USE the EVIL CO2 to live and release O2. Wait if we get rid of the CO2, then all the trees will die, what a shame, O-well less fires that produce pollution.

After my massive research the results are as follows:
AS I suspected the democrats were in control during the 60’s, but that was NOTTHE MAIN CAUSE of global warming (so calm down),
Computers, WWF, UNIONS, Smokers helped keep the balance/Non-smokers messed up the established balance, Lucky charms cause more kids to fart, PBS & Sesame street Started thus filling the airwaves with pollution, MIRCOwaves going everywhere, but that was just part of global warming.
The Beatles run lasted thru the 60’s, Connection Me thinks there is… But still not the main reason for global warming.
WARS & Threats of WARS, IMO a big REASON, death & destruction, can’t be good for the earth’s atmosphere, but still NOT THE MAIN REASON!
I must admit that SC is correct global warnings MAIN reason for global warming is MAN-MADE!
The world kept shooting holes in the atmosphere with all the rocket and space missions, so that more radition from the sun and space in general, thus causing global warming, can’t fight the facts.
How global warming was strted is solved, let's move on....
