  That article suggests that both global warming and deforestation are factors in the loss of the glaciers on Kilimanjaro: "forests that have disappeared in the past 30 to 40 years on Kilimanjaro's lower slopes -- cut down by villagers for charcoal and open farmland -- were just as much to blame as rising temperatures worldwide" Anyway this would probably only be a big deal if Kilimanjaro was the only mountain worldwide where glaciers are reducing in size - people only appear to be picking on it because it appeared in "An Inconvenient Truth" and imagining that if that one argument is wrong then the whole edifice of global warming collapses. Which really isn't how science works.
