Mount Kilimanjaro today, 20, 30 and 50 years ago. Where have the glaciers gone
The linked WP article you provided has a couple of theories, including the "shrinking of Kilimanjaro's ice cap is not directly due to rising temperature but rather to decreased precipitation." So, it's possible global cooling/warming/climate change is not related.
Hurray, the out-of-context-quote game. Ok, so lets look at some quotes from the Geotimes article that Wikipedia references:
"That most of the world’s other glaciers are being lost due to global warming is a point, he says, that he wants to emphasize."
"Arguing that precipitation rather than temperature is to blame is a "red herring," he says, as global warming affects both temperature and precipitation."
