Scaling the Mountain: Another Environmental Concern

So, I read with great interest today an article in Entrepreneur magazine, written by an entrepreneur who was comparing scaling the mountain to scaling the mountains of entrepreneurship!

Interesting concept and linkage and I almost found great relevance with her comparisons, except for the scaling the mountain part.

The mountain she was talking about is Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya, a geographic area I've been very interested in since I learned about it as a child. To my great concern, I've seen pictures of Mount Kilimanjaro grow from a great snow filled and covered behemoth, to a mountain with hardly any snow, or no snow on its peaks at all! And this, just in a few decades!

Why do we have to do this? We are wrecking countless ecosystems trying to satisfy our huge egos! A snow covered mountain in a mostly tropical continent, is there for a reason! Now that snow is gone, and who knows what ramifications that holds for the future.

I mourn for our earth, and wish we could become the caring custodians we should be.

Yup.

We have not been good stewards of this planet. The ramifications will be acknowledged when it's too late I'm afraid

If we ever colonize Mars Pat we'll take it with us. There's already some of OUR space junk on the Martian plains not to mention the rover tracks which will be there for millennia!

Kili has been my dream from early day, but I do not expect to climb it; they do not allow solo tours, all must be organized, so not a mountain for me. I do not think I shall see its glaciers in this life.

But to the point, if you have ever been in the Alps, glaciers are retreating dramatically. this is why the high Alps are full of beautiful streams everywhere (at least one good side of this). I am afraid nothing can be done, pessimistic as always, but I do mourn it.
