Hemingway's Kilimanjaro, the snow-capped mountain backdrop for the Serengeti Plain. The highest mountain in Africa at over 19,000 feet tall, and one of the largest free standing mountains in the world. Beautiful, isn't it?
This was Kilimanjaro back in 1975...

GoogleEarth may just be the ticket for opening the eyes of the most resolute science naysayers. Without leaving the comfort of the seat before their computer screens, they can see for themselves the effects that unregulated capitalism, unrestrained growth, development, and overpopulation is having on the world.
GoogleEarth - it's not just a good thing; it's an amazing thing. (Check out the Forbidden City; the Chinese must be having conniption fits.)
