1. The biggest change will be with Kilimanjaro...

...there will be no snow atop that great mountain in 10-15 years. Two generations hence will think Hemingway was drinking too much absinthe when he wrote his famed short story...

5. Kilimanjaro is melting

7. Glaciers are disappearing all over the world.

Perhaps a better example than Kilimanjaro is Glacier Natural Park.

3. These sort of pictures just make me feel despair

Imagine the sort of power and energy it took for these sort of global climactic changes to occur, and within our lifetimes! Our world has become so arrogant at this disregard for the damage we have wrecked on the Earth.

4. I was going to delete this as a dupe...

But I noticed that the other thread with this pic doesn't have the link to the other pics, which are also worth looking at.

9. Click on the link and you will see a description...

But for the link-phobic, it is a glacier in Argentina in 1928, and then what's left of it in 2004.
