"Hopefully people will learn...."  (p. 19)

Do you know Mt. Kilimanjaro? It is a glacier mountain. It is very big mountain, so it is called the roof of Africa. This book tells us about Mt. Kilimanjaro. Many people go to Mt. Kilimanjaro to climb it, or to see it. Hemingway who was a famous American writer and climber said that Mt. Kilimanjaro is great, high and unbelievable white in the sun. I think that Mt. Kilimanjaro is a treasure of the world. However, the snow of the mountain is getting disappear because of global warming. According to this book, experts predict that the mountain’s glacier could completely disappear by 2020. It is 8 years later from now. It is very sad things if it is true.

I think that this book is shocking because glaciers of Mt. Kilimanjaro could disappear 8 years later. I don’t know what I can do, but I don’t want to see the disappearance of it. So, I think that we have to learn about global warming, and we have to think what we should do for the earth. If you interested in it, please read it.
