Emperor Penguins in Antarctica (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
From NZWeek, a new study on the loss of sea ice in the south pole. Emperor penguins revolt en masse over conflicting story lines from alarmist camps. Emphasis added:
A decline in the population of emperor penguins appears likely this century as climate change reduces the extent of Antarctic sea ice, shows a recently published U.S. study.
The research, led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and published this week in Global Change Biology, focuses on a much-observed colony of emperor penguins in Terre Adelie, Antarctica.
Employing a set of sophisticated computer simulations of climate and a statistical model of penguin demographics, the authors conclude that the number of breeding pairs may fall by about 80 percent by 2100.
