Why Kilimanjaro's Glaciers Are Melting
Why Kilimanjaro's Glaciers Are Melting
Red Bull ice climber, Will Gadd, embarks on a mission to have one last shot at climbing the glaciers of Mount Kilimanjaro. In 2014, Will made several first ascents of Kilimanjaro’s ice towers. Now, as the mountain’s iconic ice cap disappears rapidly, he returns to make a last ascent. During those elapsed years, some glaciers on Mt…

These glaciers are from the ice age of course they are melting every year they have been since the ice age ended, why does everyone act like these glaciers are supposed to be permanent, I am not saying that we haven’t created warmer temperatures with carbon but climate change is going to happen regardless. The climate will change with the temperature and the temperature has been changing sense the beginning of time, I don’t understand why people think it is just going to stop we could stop all carbon tomorrow and their would still be no stopping this. Sooner or later it will begin to get cold again and go back into an ice age.
drink some of the glacier its really good before its too late
Google earth shows tons of snow in 2023
Doug means well, he's a nice guy, but he's wrong. CO2 has nothing to do with storms or moisture coming in from the ocean (even the IPCC agrees with this). That's caused by the big oceanic circulation patterns and natural variance over centuries. Most equatorial glaciers are retreating. In the 1600s, a tremendous amount of ice built up on summits like this, and back in the 1300s, there was much less. Around 7000 BCE, most of the summits were likely ice free. CO2 is not the driver. In another 2,000 years, there will be MUCH more snow on top as precession and obliquity start to reverse the trend from the holocene maximum. Talk with atmospheric scientists. This is great storytelling, and it's important if you want to increase your research budget, but the true cause has nothing to do with humans, and it is poor science. Some glaciers are growing, most are shrinking. It would be exactly like this without any humans. The ice has been building up and sublimating away for hundreds of thousands of years.
:((
The sun is hot.
I will not eat ze bugs.
Tell me more than a year later, is your life still changed by this and what 2 things have you done to "use less carbon"?
I pity Mt Kilimanjaro might lose its glaciers like our Mt Kenya 😓is there anything possible to prevent this
Says preachy Red-Bull dude “that’s it, I’m using less carbon!”…..
But….um……how you gettin’ home now, rad Red-Bull dude???
Satanists change our climat flying their damn chemo trail jets 24/7.
Yes we melted the ice. Without us the ice on the mountain would have stayed the same for eternity.
This makes me happy of what redbull is doing of us. Please let's save kilimanjaro
Well Red Bull own a F1 team, they own multiple factories, a sports team. Too much environmental waste from the activities of all these things to even consider creating this video.
because of businesses like yours.
Did you fly a plane to Africa???
Glaciers have a purpose in there time frame, they will melt to carve out what they were intended for to do…no mystery here, its all part of the geo chronology set into motion from day one till the end of the age… man cant prevent this, man did not create this, man cant fix this, it will continue on its course as a reminder that you are created not the creator, you cant change what God spoke into existence, this life is not eternal but is an hour glass counting down to the end of the age…
Being vegan is a good way to reduce your carbon footprint !
My beautiful country 🇹🇿💪🏿
A month ago I was introduced to luiz a forex expert who have been in charge of my bitcoin.i have earn multiple profit for months now.
Oh my god a glacier on the equator is melting
One heat wave and now it’s melting and in one cooling event like the mini ice age will regrow the glacier
it's just a lost game case
Bud flys all over the planet for a career, but now he’s flying home to buy an electric scooter to contribute to his new epiphany of lowering personal carbon omissions, Bud sleeps better and dreams about his next sponsored trip….
Tanzani ni KENYA very beutiful…
“I do need to do more” (the trips to Africa and all around the world don’t count though because we’re more important than everyone else)
How ridiculous! You are showing a lots of more snow in 2020 than 2014, and you claim that it s melting! What ever your eye is showing, you claim the opposite!
Whatever you say, the footage shows more snow in 2020 than 2014, i saw black and white footage of kilimanjaro from the 1930 and there were not much snow back then!
These people climbing on the ice and causing the ice to crumble and melt, then they blame climate change.Typical!
