As a channel of expressive freedom, art has traditionally been a method of communication between humans about the conditions of life. Many artists use the medium to explore controversial topics, voice their concerns and rebel against conformity.

Treehugger: Even a species that has benefited from temperature increases in the past may be hurt by excessive warming. Adélie penguins (Phygoscelis adeliae) have lived in Antarctica for millions of years. They are one of only two penguin species found exclusively on the continent, the other being Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri). Unlike Emperor penguins, which trek for miles to breeding colonies located in ice-covered regions of Antarctica, Adélie penguins breed solely in ice-free areas along the coast,...

BABW News: The Adélie penguin survives on dry rocks to protect it's young but mounting climate changes will bring wetter weather that will make it hard for the penguin to adapt and survive. Climate change is at it again and this time it`s affecting penguin populations in Antarctica. Warmer sea waters are to blame for the possible rapid decline of the Adélie penguins. The penguin usually prefers rocky, ice-free areas to live and breed so warmer climates in the past have proven advantageous for them. However,...
