Retreat of the Penguins

Emperor penguins demonstrate the most amazing adaptations: in the middle of the Antarctic winter, in the worst conditions, the males huddle together to keep warm and protect the eggs carefully transferred to them by the females. But climate change is threatening emperor penguins. A new study says if global warming continues at its current rate, more than 80 percent of emperor penguin colonies will be gone in the next 80 years. If we meet the Paris Agreement objectives, some viable refuge will exist.
