News outlets promoted a flawed science paper claiming emperor penguins will become extinct by 2100 because…climate.

PARIS (AFP) – Helpless emperor penguin chicks perished at multiple breeding grounds in West Antarctica late last year, drowning or freezing to death when sea ice eroded by global warming gave way under their tiny feet, scientists said last Thursday. Of five sites monitored in the Bellingshausen Sea region, all but one experienced a 100 […]

In 2022, four West Antarctic colonies collapsed because ice melted before the chicks were physically able to escape

Thousands of emperor penguin chicks in Antarctica have died due to a "catastrophic breeding failure" caused by low levels of sea ice, which is a result of climate change. The decline in sea ice left the chicks vulnerable to the elements as they had not yet developed waterproof feathers. Multiple penguin colonies across a vast area experienced simultaneous failures during the breeding season.

Shame on all the alarmists that weaponized weather and natural penguin struggles to push a climate crisis!

Another example of preposterous fearmongering used by activist scientists and the media for political purposes.

Scientists in Antarctica reported an "unprecedented breeding failure" among emperor penguins on a portion of the continent that has experienced significant sea ice loss.

Record-low levels of sea ice in western Antarctica in late 2022 led to the breeding failure of four emperor penguin colonies, according to a study published on Thursday.

The spring season of 2022 saw record low sea ice extent in Antarctica that persisted throughout the year. At the beginning of December, the Antarctic sea ice extent was tracking with the all-time low set in 2021. The greatest regional negative anomaly of this low extent was in the central and eastern Bellingshausen Sea region, west of the Antarctic Peninsula where, during November, some regions experienced a 100% loss in sea ice concentration. We provide evidence of a regional breeding failure o...

Four out of five emperor penguin colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica, saw no chicks survive to fledge successfully in the spring of 2022, reports a study published in Communications Earth & Environment.
