Polar bears in the arctic, emperor penguins in the Antarctic ... it never stops.

Bad news for these folks is the growing and record extent of Antarctic sea ice. See Joe Bastardi's most recent summary beginning about minute 7:00:

Saturday Summary June 28, 2014

(BTW, having seen "March of the Penguins" and how they survive (barely) months of wind and frigid temperatures, not sure how warming is going to be detrimental to the emperors.)

I think the writer is counting on not many people being aware of just how close to death they become as part of their natural breeding cycle. More ice could put the females a day or two further from returning to the males and young which could be enough to wipe out an entire flock.
