Hello all just a quick visit (thankfully I hear you say)

BBC et al: (sod it what's wrong with "and others") a bunch of self loathing
and very affluent drama queens

Let us compare this

'Global warming threatens Africa'
Kilimanjaro's ice cap is shrinking
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2204756.stm



How about the Independent

The snows of Mount Kilimanjaro

Hemingway's snows - one of the wonders of the natural world - will soon be
as dead as the old man himself. More than 80 per cent of them have melted
away; the picture on the right shows Kilimanjaro 10 years ago, the one on
the left how it looks today. Within 20 years the snow will all have gone,
for the first time in 100,000 years - and, as the world continues to heat
up, it will not come back. Glaciers are melting worldwide; even in Tibet, on
the very roof of the world, they are being reduced by half every decade.

I could go on and mention Bonio, Al Bore, Annie Lennox, the Guardian, but
you get the picture and I've already out stayed my welcome.

Hey go do the math.
