Snow cap disappearing from Mount Kilimanjaro

Just in time for the Copenhagen Climate Treaty gathering in December, the Associated Press published an article about the disappearing snows of Mount Kilimanjaro, in Africa.

The article links global warming to the disappearing snow fields.  The trouble with that is that the temperatures on top of of Mount Kilimanjaro are always below freezing and even haven been falling steadily during the last three decades.  There are reasons for the disappearing snow fields, but they have nothing to do with global warming and everything with declines in precipitation due to deforestation in the area.
