Global warming, once regarded as a cry by the Chicken Littles of the world, appears to be a reality. Not only that, but the pace of proof is increasing daily.
The latest proof of global warming lies in recent photographs of Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro where, for the first time in 11,000 years, the mountain top is visibly stripped of its snowcap. On RedNova, Global Warming Thaws Mount Kilimanjaro contains a recent photograph of the disappearing snowcap.
An article, Photos Show Climate Change As Ministers Meet In UK, from the Reuters World Environment News website, states how photos will be used to visually communicate the severity of the situation to the G8 country representatives meeting in London this week.
Another article, Himalaya Glaciers Receding Fast Due To Warming, reports how the rate of glacier retreat in the Himalayas is the fastest on the planet and threatens millions of people in China, India and Nepal with water shortages.
How long will the United States, the world's biggest emitter, and China, the fastest growing industrial power, be allowed to continue down their irresponsible paths? This is a global problem with only grassroots solutions. The corporate and political powers at the top will not change their ways until individuals make a financial statement negatively impacting the bottom lines of those who benefit.
