Five More Places To See Before They Are Changed Forever

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

1. Mt Kilamanjaro's snow cap is melting due primarily to land use changes on the continent of Africa. It has been melting since at least 1890.
2. The sea level in the vicinity of the Maldives does no show any appreciable increase. They are not in immediate danger.
5. I did not easily find information on the ecology of Lake Baikal as related to global warming. However, due to the current economy, much of the polluted water that flowed into the lake has stopped due to factory closure, so things are actually improving. There is good skiing nearby, if that is your thing.

I did not include references, but if you are interested, just do an internet search and you can easily find this information.
