Climate report: Africa's rare glaciers soon to disappear

The Associated Press

The new report seizes on the shrinking glaciers of Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya and the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda as symbols of the rapid and widespread changes to come. “Their current retreat rates are higher than the global average. If this continues, it will lead to total deglaciation by the 2040s,” it says.

By 2030, up to 118 million extremely poor people, or those living on less than $1.90 a day, “will be exposed to drought, floods and extreme heat in Africa if adequate response measures are not put in place,” Sacko adds.

Yawn... And someday they will return..you can't say the earth is warming and blame humans with out considering the past warming cooling trends. Were cavemen driving SUVs? Campfires to hot? Maybe we are just returning to normal temp? Worst case 1-2° hotter? Big deal..

So what? Rich producers don't care. Neither do I anymore.

I put you the glacier was probably covering the whole mountain a thousand years ago, did man cause it to start melting then you dumb asses! It’s Mother Nature doing her thing, don’t take my money and tell me you’re going to stop her!

And there is no tax that can be levied to stop it then. And any tax extorted for this. Is not necessary.

I've learnt a lot from a mentor who were instrumentally in shape with me, and I want to share what I've learnt. Investing with you has changed my life Geoffreypreud

Claim: Al Gore said in 2009 that “the North Pole will be ice-free in the summer by 2013 because of man-made global warming.”

This is why people can’t trust the media. Yes these are melting but also the glaciers are growing in the Glacier National Park and in fact 90% of the glaciers are growing today. All you need to do is get information somewhere other than Google or Twitter to get facts.

Didn’t they say that two decades ago?🤔
