Mount Kilimanjaro Photo Wake-Up Call for Action Against Global Warming

by Jeremy Lovell
LONDON -- A photo of Mount Kilimanjaro (http://www.northsoutheastwest.org/issues/natural-environment-1/) stripped of its snowcap for the first time in 11,000 years will be used as dramatic testimony for action against global warming as ministers from the world's biggest polluters meet on Tuesday.

Gathering in London for a two-day brainstorming session on the environment agenda of Britain's presidency of the Group of Eight rich nations, the environment and energy ministers from 20 countries will be handed a book (http://www.northsoutheastwest.org/) containing the stark image of Africa's tallest mountain, among others.
"This is a wake-up call and an unequivocal message that a low-carbon global economy is necessary, achievable and affordable," said Steve Howard of the Climate Group (http://www.theclimategroup.org/) charity which organised the book and an associated exhibition.
"We are breaking climate change out of the environment box. This crisis affects all of us. This is a global challenge and we need real leadership to address these major problems -- and these ministers can give that leadership," he told Reuters.

It's much less sleazy to scare the shit out of kids and have them sell your carbon trading schemes. :toast

I know there is pressure to present a nice tidy story as regards 'apparent unprecedented warming in a thousand years or more in the proxy data' but in reality the situation is not quite so simple. We don't have a lot of proxies that come right up to date and those that do (at least a significant number of tree proxies ) some unexpected changes in response that do not match the recent warming. I do not think it wise that this issue be ignored in the chapter.
