Well in of itself you would be very correct. However, there is the issue that in all of human history, and the people there have songs about the snows on Kilimanjaro back thousands of years, it is now melting.

Again in of itself it would not be the most giant concern, a potential anomaly. However, given everything else that is melting, the fact that this is too, is yet another piece of evidence and yet another reason to be concerned.

Many people in may parts of the world get their water from melts. When that snow and ice is gone, then the people in those regions will have to go elsewhere for water. This applies to the American South West as well.
