Climate models may underestimate future warming on tropical mountains

According to Hilde Eggermont Disappearing glacier: The Lewis glacier on Mt. Kenya has lost 90 percent over the last 75 years. New research suggests future warming on Mt. Kenya and other tropical peaks may happen much faster than climate models currently predict. Climate change are more pronounced on tropical peaks like Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, where centuries-old glaciers have all but melted completely away. Now, new research suggests that future warming on these peaks could be even greater than climate models currently predict. New accurate model needs to be suggested to avert looming massive melting on these giant Africa peaks. I challenge Kenya Climate Innovative Center to devise more methods and innovative ways to predict accurately the changes in global and especially tropical temperatures
