| 3 Nov 09 - The snows of Kilimanjaro may soon be
gone, warns paleoclimatologist Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State
University. Similar changes are being reported at Mount Kenya
and the Rwenzori Mountains in Africa and at glaciers in South
America. “The fact that so many glaciers throughout the
tropics and subtropics are showing similar responses suggests an
underlying common cause,” Thompson said in a statement. “The
increase of Earth’s near surface temperatures, coupled with even
greater increases in the mid- to upper-tropical troposphere, as
documented in recent decades, would at least partially explain”
the observations. |

“Wrong, wrong, wrong,” says this article on icecap.us. “This is not
true.
Thompson sees what he
wants to see in the data.”
“Satellites and weather balloons show no warming in mid to
high levels
in the tropics. Only in
the tinkertoy climate models does that happen but
to alarmists that is
reality.”
Icecap includes charts and data that demolish Thompson's “research.”
