Warming worries for south polar penguins

Climate News Network: Adélie penguins on an iceberg in the Antarctic. Scientists say that temperature rises in the Antarctic region could lead to serious decline in two-thirds of Adélie penguin colonies by the end of the century. A little climate change could be good for penguins, but too much could be very bad indeed, according to researchers in the US researchers. They predict that, by 2060, almost a third of all Adélie penguin colonies in the Antarctic region could be in decline. By 2099, almost two-thirds could...

Adelie Penguins In Danger

National Public Radio: A new study says the population of Adelie penguins in the Antarctic could drop dramatically in population by 2099 due to climate change. Megan Cimino, who headed the study, explains why.

Climate Change Threatening Penguins In Antarctica: Study
2016-07-01 07:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NDTV: Continued warming of Antarctica due to climate change may lead to decline of 60 per cent of Adelie penguin colonies by the end of this century, a new study has warned. Climate change in Antarctica, cooling in some places and warming in others, is causing a dramatic shift in the population of Adelie penguins, researchers said. Historic satellite observations and future climate model projections were used to estimate past and future changes in habitat suitability during the penguins' chick-rearing...

Hungry penguins chase Antarctic's shifting krill
2016-04-08 08:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Waddling over the rocks, legions of penguins hurl themselves into the icy waters of Antarctica, foraging to feed their young. Like seals and whales, they eat krill, an inch-long shrimp-like crustacean which forms the basis of the Southern Ocean food chain. But penguin-watchers say the krill are getting scarcer here around the western Antarctic peninsula, under threat from climate change and fishing. "Krill is the power lunch of the Antarctic. It's a keystone species for everybody," says...

In Antarctica, displaced penguins may be a sign of climate change
2016-03-26 15:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PRI: When researchers who study Adelie penguins in Antarctica returned to their study site to find most of the birds gone, the event made headlines. But the headlines were mostly wrong, according to the researchers. No one knows for sure what became of the missing birds, but Kerry-Jayne Wilson, one of the lead researchers and the author of a new paper about the event, wants to make one thing clear: I don't know where the 150,000 dead penguins came from. It didn't come from our paper, she says....
