Global warming on Kilimanjaro

Completely coincidental, but this week I was doing some house cleaning and noticed this WRA editorial on the use of Kilimanjaro as an anecdotal example demonstrating global warming. Anyway, I was cleaning and came across a certificate that I earned a few years ago on a trip (as you can see, it's pretty beatup from being stuffed in my backpack!):

Overall, it was a great seven day hike... although experiencing high altitude sickness was not my idea of fun. And if you consider yourself a friend of Ernie... for what it's worth... I didn't see any leopards up there.
