A previously unknown “supercolony” of Adélie penguins has been discovered in the Antarctic, easing fears their numbers had been in decline for decades.


The thriving colony inhabits the Danger Islands, where the effects of both climate change and human activity are less pronounced than in other parts of Antarctica.


Located off the Antarctic Peninsula’s northern tip, these islands are both incredibly remote and surrounded by thick sea ice.


This allowed the penguins to remain hidden from the world, until a team of researchers mounted an expedition there to investigate signs of nesting birds.

Hhmph...


“This exciting discovery shows us just how much more there still is to learn about this amazing and iconic species of the ice,” said Rod Downie, head of polar programmes at WWF.
“But it also reinforces the urgency to protect the waters off the coast of Antarctica to safeguard Adélie penguins from the dual threats of overfishing and climate change.”



Didn't count how many times "climate change" was mentioned but it was quite a bit.

War on Climate results in a lower body count than say War on Communism.

We will see how the War on Imported Steel and Aluminum goes.

The thriving colony inhabits the Danger Islands, where the effects of both climate change and human activity are less pronounced than in other parts of Antarctica.

That is probably why penguins have decreased in other parts of Antarctica, they were disturbed by human activity so they moved to this place instead. Now they are chasing them around Danger Island. How climate change could have contributed to the decline is a bit mysterious though, since climate has been remarkably stable on Antarctica the last 40 years, with only a very small decrease in temperatures... But it must always be mentioned!

Rule number 1 for the archteicts of control: When there is no problem....state that there is and must be protected from

"Climate change is less pronounced there"

Cause its a super colony of penguins.

Question is, Where if anywhere on Earth has climate change been pronounced?

Is it some demigod to only have belief in?

Delingpole: Polar Bears Doing Just Fine Shock
'Susan Crockford, arguably the world’s greatest polar bear expert, has some really bad news for environmentalists.

Their favorite ursine poster child of climate doom is doing great. Polar bear populations are stable, if not growing. That stuff you read in the liberal media about bears starving to death because thin summer sea ice is pure nonsense. The only evidence we have that polar bears are in any kind of trouble is the fake evidence of activists’ computer models.

Crockford’s full State of the Polar Bear Report 2017, produced for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, can be read here.
