All but two Adelie penguin chicks have starved to death in their east Antarctic colony, in a breeding season described as "catastrophic" by experts.
It was caused by unusually high amounts of ice late in the season, meaning adults had to travel further for food.
It is the second bad season in five years after no chicks survived in 2015.

Soooo, global warming means no ice and no polar bears.
Soooo, global warming means too much ice and no penguins.

Don’t you know that global warming means ice levels will grow?? This is all part of the impending climate change catastrophe. Try to keep up.

Too little ice in Antarctica = “Global Warming”
Too much ice in Antarctica = “Global Warming”

This is reported by the BBC?!!!! Just wow!
To: beebuster2000
There is a trend that when Antarctica ice is lighter, Arctic ice is thicker, and vice versa.
That’s why the climate change reports alternate between “Greenland is melting!” to “Antarctica is melting!”
They’re only mentioning too much ice here because “climate change killed the cuties!”
