In an article recently posted on science daily, scientists are predicting that the ice fields on top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania should be completely melted within two decades. Ernest Hemingway wrote a short story entitled "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" in which the narrator, while on safari in Africa, realizes that he is about to die due to an injured leg. One of the main themes of the short story is about death and how it is imminently present. Who knew global warming could be so poetic?
