The issue, as others have begun to point out, is that small changes or influences in climate have big consequences because of the feedback loops that exist. In the Mt. Kilimanjaro example, as the glacier begins to lose surface area, more ground is exposed to solar radiation, raising ground temperatures, which leads to even more rapid glacier retreat, exposing more ground again.
Yes and in the end everything around there becomes a desert, a lot hotter during the day,a lot cooler during the night but yet the anti-global warming people will just measure the 24 hour cycle and claim the temperature is the same.
