I guess it would be "unfair" in the eyes of the scientists to lend a helping hand by providing food for the chicks??

They have been studying them for 25 years. Wonder how much that cost? I bet it would buy a whole lot of penguin food.

Not sure that's practical. Pengun Chow is probably hard to buy in Antarctica.

But something caught my attention. The penguins have to travel 60 miles to get to water to catch food for their chicks?
Either those dumm penguins walked waaaaay too far to lay their eggs, or, as I suspect, there is water just below them, if they could get to it and catch their own food.

How thick is the ice? How big a deal is it to help them get access to the fish where they are? How difficult can it be for the wisest creature on the planet, who would presume to "stop global warming"?
