The fabled snows of Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro may not succumb to global climate change as quickly as scientists had feared. A joint Austrian-U.S. research team that took seven years of measurements from weather stations atop Africa's tallest mountain says that its ice fields will be around for another 30 to 40 years /snip/ The research team found new evidence showing that lower precipitation鈥攁nd not rising temperatures on the summit鈥攊s the main cause for the Kilimanjaro glaciers' retreat.

From National Geographic too, start spin NOW!!!!!
Oops, now Global Warming not to blame for this? Can they ever get it right?
Thanks for the up-date over the glacier, but even George Bush is admitting publicly that America has to reduce the greenhouse gasses emitted in the US. Some people could say that is a Liberal view point, and he is flip flopping now.

i don't know about that i don't care to read that article right now but i read an article today about the melting ice caps and how they are melting 30 years earlier than anticipated due to global warming.
global warming is not real.
Exactly, the global warming myth is all it is. I am waiting for Al Gore one day to jump out and say, %26quot;You're on Candid Camera%26quot;, and laugh at him fooling all of us.
Also, didn't you know National Georgraphic is a right wing publicaton? I bet some member of the Church of Gore will say something like that.
maybe not everything is global warmings fault... granted...
but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist...
and that is just one study of course...
and why do Republlicans think ANY opinion other than theirs spin?
Global warming is junk science. How can you *not include* a 40-year period in the 1200s because it's an %26quot;anomaly%26quot;?
That's been known for quite some time, for those who cared to actually research things.
Of course, for most it's just easier to bleat, %26quot;GLOBAL WARMING, GLOBAL WARMING!!!%26quot; as the reason behind every melting piece of ice on the planet. That way, the only research you have to do is go to the movies.
what are we going to do about it??
They proved that it has nothing to do with human pollution. It's accelerated heating of the Sun, a million degrees hotter, that is predicted to incinerate the Earth in 20 minutes by 2009.
Ummm warmer temps cause evaporation without precipitation. YEs, global warming lowers precipitation in some places while raising it in others. Nice try though. I know you WANT to believe everything will stay the same and never change, but like the song says %26quot;the times they are a changin'%26quot;
People, please! NOT ONE respected scientist disputes global warming as fact. The dispute is limited to man's involvement. Does human action contribute to global warming? The evidence collected thus far would suggest we collectively have about as much influence on global warming as a fly does to a 747.
