'Temperature predictions fail, primarily because [warmists] ignore or lack data about water and secondarily because they assume CO2 causes temperature increase'

'It is very unusual to have thunderstorms and rain at that particular level of the mountain but it is just the whole climate is changing'

UN IPCC Lead Author Richard Tol mocks claim: 'People still blame the gods for bad weather events: The gods have changed names, that's all. Odin and Shiva are now called Climate Change'

Analysis: 'Alarmists make ridiculous claims in the hope of swaying an uninformed populace. They refuse to allow critical objective critiques of their work. And when a skeptical scientist presents objective data that call the ridiculous claims into question, they accuse the skeptical scientist of being “anti-science.” Thank you, Michael Mann, for perfectly illustrating why global warming media hounds are so frightened of public debate'

'Mann is still pushing the now long debunked claims about the Snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Even Mann's buddies Lonnie Thompson and Phil Jones privately admit the issue is local deforestation/evapotranspiration and not 'climate change.' It is mind blowing he's still pushing this'

'The drifts are slowly thickening on the top point of this summit...The snow, which once had disappeared on some parts of the mountain, is piling up again gradually there was a deepening of the snow, which had once practically disappeared'

'It's a bit clumsy to call this entire saga 'death-threat-gate'. But it is weird how many of the iconic warmist narratives (e.g. hockey-sticks, polar bears, melting-Himalaya-glaciers, Hansen-congressional-testimony, snows-of-Kilimanjaro...) turn out to be crocks'

'Before, we were seeing glaciers melting,' he explained during a recent descent from the summit. 'But from 2010 to now, we have been seeing new glaciers.'

Kaser: 'The much less clear question is on how the glaciers came to exist, & there are indications that a series of exceptional wet years allowed them to build up during first half of 19th century'

2010 study in journal Global & Planetary Change found 'deforestation in Kilimanjaro's lower rain forests could be accelerating glaciers' retreat because it leads to drier air around the mountain's peak'

'Would you agree that there is no convincing evidence for kilimanjaro glacier melt being due to recent warming (let alone man-made warming)?'
