You’ve been told time and time again that your “science” and talking points about Mt. Kilimanjaro’s snow and glaciers melting because of Man Induced Warming aren’t worth more than a bucket of spit, so, here’s some more reality for you to chew on
Newspapers and news sites in the Netherlands today extensively broke the news of the findings of a research team led by Professor Jaap Sinninghe Damste — a leading molecular paleontologist at Utrecht University and winner of the prestigious Spinoza Prize — about the melting icecap of the Kilimanjaro, the African mountain that became a symbol of anthropogenic global warming.
Professor Sinninghe Damste’s research, as discussed on the site of the Dutch Organization of Scientific Research (DOSR) — a governmental body — shows that the icecap of Kilimanjaro was not the result of cold air but of large amounts of precipitation which fell at the beginning of the Holocene period, about 11,000 years ago.
The melting and freezing of moisture on top of Kilimanjaro appears to be part of “a natural process of dry and wet periods.†The present melting is not the result of “environmental damage caused by man.â€
Well, the clear cutting of the forests that surround the mountain certainly do not help, but, it’s not because of Al Gore blaming “global warming” in his hysterical (and disingenuous) movie “An Inconvenient Truth.” This is an inconvenient truth for Al, who will surely just say the researchers are in the pocket of Big Oil or something. Even other believers in AGW think Al is full of it.
Elsewhere, the UN IPCC is in full denial about ClimateGate, standing behind the words that governments have approved. LOL
JoNova has what the real hockey stick looks like, without the tricking out by Mann, along with lots more data that makes our current warming period look, well, like just another normal period caused by nature.
Now the climahysterics are using the “Fake but accurate” defense, and Greenie Watch beats them like a rented mule.
