The future looks bleak for these penguins.

There may indeed be global warming, but it's cyclical. It certainly isn't man-made; so, whatever happens, happens.

Not just penguins, the ice melting in the north is affecting the survival of Polar Bears too. Global Warming, fact or fiction?

Global warming may be true, though I'm not sure. What I am sure of, though, is that governmental rules and regulations will not affect it one bit. They are all political posturing when they let developing nations get a pass on the regulations. Global warming, if it is indeed occurring, is part of a natural weather cycling that has been occurring since the beginning of time. I am aware that there are scientists who say we have caused it and must therefore do something about it (but not many agree on what we should do), but there are just as many who dismiss it, calling it a natural phenomenon. Given the historical weather cycles of the past, I side with the naysayers.

Let's see.......the Antarctic on average is getting colder and increasing it's ice coverage, yet global WARMING is killing off the Penguins?
Sounds like a government funded study.

Take a Geology 101 course. You will learn that change during the past 4.5 BILLION YEARS has been normal. People had nothing to do with it. Get used to it.

Good news for the politicians. They have managed to delay so long that we have gone beyond the tipping point. It's too late to do anything to prevent runaway warming.

The only place where the penguins are doing well is Pittsburgh.
