News sites in the Netherlands today extensively broke the news of the findings of a research team led by Professor Jaap Sinninghe Damste a leading molecular paleontologist at Utrecht University and winner of the prestigious Spinoza Prize about the melting icecap of the Kilimanjaro, the African mountain that became a symbol of anthropogenic global warming.
The melting and freezing of moisture on top of Kilimanjaro appears to be part of "a natural process of dry and wet periods." The present melting is not the result of "environmental damage caused by man."
