Interesting read, it sounds reasonable - I guess they may well be correct in their assertion. Personally, I wouldn't associate a lack of tropical glaciers with proof of the dangers of climate change/global warming. Global warming may have something to do with it, if they're right it may not - doesn't worry me or bother me either way.

Having glaciers in Africa is the weird thing to me, and it may well be that for whatever localised or broader reason - these glaciers might not be there for much longer.

Much closer to home, there're a few other tropical glaciers in West Papua, Indonesia - but given all the local difficulties in that region I think I'd rather go to Africa for a tropical glacier experience rather than venture a few thousand kilometres northward.
