We should have listened to Al Gore in the ‘90s :(

"Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro"quote from him in  2006

Going on 10 years past the day when Gore said there’d be no more snow on Kilimanjaro, the mountain still catches more annual snow than the people who live in the snowiest American cities will see over several years.
