Summary: The ice cap on Mount Kilimanjara in Tanzania has been rapidly declining 26 percent since 2000. Eighty five percent of the ice that was present there in 1912 has vanished, however scientists are not sure whether or not that is due to global warming. It is uncertain whether the melting is due to human activity or climatological influences.
Response: It is definitely not a good thing that this ice cap is rapidly melting, however it is good to hear that it might not be due to global warming. Something needs to be done quickly to solve this melting ice cap issue. We all need to make better choices to save the earth.
