Was Al Gore's prediction about the snows of Kilimanjaro disappearing correct?

Al Gore predicted that the snows of Kilimanjaro would be gone within a decade, which has proven partially incorrect. While snow still falls on Kilimanjaro, contradicting Gore's complete disappearance prediction, the overall trend shows significant decline. In fact, 2024 recorded the lowest snowfall on record for Kilimanjaro. This local observation reflects a broader global pattern of glacier loss. Since 2000, global warming has caused thousands of glaciers around Earth to disappear completely. Kilimanjaro's situation demonstrates how climate predictions may not always be precisely accurate in timing, while still correctly identifying the concerning downward trajectory of glacial ice worldwide.
