With some editing global warming will be the cause.

in other news, Scuas thrive on the starving penguin chicks.

Such sad news. Poor parent penguins. The wild is an unforgiving place an life expectancy is very small.

Too hot? Global warming!
Too cold? Global warming!
Not enough ice? Global warming!
Too much ice? Global warming!
Etc. etc. etc.? Global warming!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Oh, you noticed that too: Excessive sea ice around Antarctica was the cause.

So, of course, global warming must be causing the penguins to die ....

Because, you see, in June 2014, the Antarctic sea ice set an all-time record high extents. The “excess” sea ice for that date exceeded the entire area of Greenland!

“With some editing global warming will be the cause.”

Perhaps already done?

But they have been declining in the Antarctic region more generally where climate change has taken its toll, with shifting ice reducing habitat while warming seas affect their prey.

Here, I’ll rewrite the headline as it should be:

Liberal anti-global warming efforts lead to massive penguin chick deaths

[oh8eleven]

They attributed the disaster to extensive sea ice
I thought the sea ice was disappearing???

I'm so confused ...

[Sacajaweau]

I just read that these penguins were part of a breeding program. I don't think they're telling us enough.

The article said that two of the four breeding programs were catastrophic failures.

Sounds like we were trying to introduce them into particular areas....and WE screwed up. They shouldn't have been put in two of the areas.

This is a Whopping .075% of all penguins in the Antarctic.

Animals are born then they die and get eaten by other animals.

As a comparison, American women aborted 3.7% of all human babies last year.

Of course, Planned Parenthood is about the same as the predator animals. They cut up the baby parts and sell them for profit.

[SandRat]

Does a Penguin taste like chicken?

[outofsalt]

Gender Change? Good!
Climate Change? Bad!

[WKUHilltopper]

So air drop ‘em some food if you’re so damn worried. Hope your palates don’t squash ‘em in the delivery.

[jmaroneps37]

Sorry for these little birds but just how does this impact my life again, I missed that part.

I am confused. This is the Antarctic, and therefore it is not late summer, but late winter.

Also what about global warming???????

[gnarledmaw]

But yesterday due to global warming the antarctic was destroyed by polynyas, currents creating creating canyons on the underside of the ice, and massive calving. So dont worry about it, the antarctic is gone and so are all the penguins. One less thing to worry about...
