  THE SNOW ON KILIMANJARO

  The characteristic snowcap has always been there, a mirage in the hot,
tropical climate on the plains below.
  Now, new, shocking revelations say that the snow on Kilimanjaro is
melting so fast it will soon be gone. Scientists are gathering on
Africa�s tallest mountain to study one of many tell tales of the human
created Global Warming, the escalating Greenhouse effect. From 1912 to
2002 80 percent of the glacier at the top of the 5895 meters tall
mountain disappeared, like morning dew before the sun. 80 percent. It�s
a progressive process growing in intensity year by year, and the last
ten it has speeded up to become almost visible moment by moment.
  If the melting continues at the same rate the ice will all have
vanished completely between 2015 and 2020, faster if the rate continues
to speed up.
  And similar occurrences are happening all over the world. And media is
strangely absent. Not in the sense that they�re not there or not
reporting anything, but in the importance they place on it. If the
general population should happen to hear about it, it�s by some sheer
coincidence. Most people, interviewed at random on the street are
expressing a profound ignorance about the dramatic event. A few of them
know about the subject, can mention places where they know it is
happening, but not as the overwhelming development it has turned into.
If asked about their personal experiences in the matter they can easily
and quite relaxed relate how their gardens are green during what used to
be winter, how flowers are growing in December and such. But they can�t
put the pieces together, can�t realize the big picture, what a major,
imminent danger it has become.
