ANTARCTIC The Emperor penguins which featured in the film Happy Feet have suffered a devastating population slump in the past 50 years, according to a report by the WWF.
Many colonies have fallen in size by 50 per cent as the penguins are squeezed by the effects of climate change and overfishing. Emperor penguins are being driven from their territories as their nesting sites are destroyed by melting sea ice on the Antarctic’s western peninsula. It has retreated 40 per cent in three decades and is thought to be partly responsible for a huge reduction in the stocks of krill, a shrimp-like creature eaten by the penguins.
Emily Lewis-Brown, of WWF, said: “These icons of the Antarctic will have to face an extremely tough battle to survive.” Other species such as Gentoos, Chinstraps and Adélie are also suffering, said the report – Antarctic Penguins and Climate Change – which will be presented to the United Nations summit on climate change in Bali.

i think that the goverment should play a part in this not just the local people we cant do it on our own we need to do something NOW.Loads of animals are dying we have got loads of animals that are endangered already we dnt need any more. So i thinklk the goverment should step in and say 'right every sdingle person should do something and actually make them do it'.We need everyone involed in this critical condition that we are in, in this world we need to get it done NOW
its not just a case of saying you will do it, u will have to be abosoulty possitive that u will help these endangered animals thier lives depend on us and ia way we are killing them because people never say 'YES' im doing my bit why dont you do yours please help them there dying

How is it that penguins managed to survive previous warming periods, when the Earths climate was significantly warmer than it is today?
In the recent pre-medieval period, Greenland had far less ice cover than today and early viking settlers farmed crops there.

That's very sad, I feel terrible about global warming. If scientists predicted this would happen why didn't the government do something about it before it got too late?
