Mount Kilimanjaro's glaciers melting



I believe that climate change is an enormous issue facing the world today and for the next generation. An example of this climate change is Mount Kilimanjaro. Its glaciers are decreasing at a drastic rate. In the last 12 years it has decreased by one third. Also, it has decreased 82 percent since it was first mapped in 1912. The images to the left show a sky image of Mount Kilimanjaro on February 17, 1993 and then again in February 21, 2000. As you can see it almost gone.
