Antarctic cooling kills 150,000 penguins

Iceberg “the size of Rome” and “larger than Luxemburg” forces Adelie penguins to travel farther for food.

“The penguins used to live near a large body of open water, but the arrival of the iceberg in East Antarctica and fast ice expansion has dramatically increased the distance they must travel to feed.”

Save the penguins! Bring on global warming!

(The story quotes no one except “researchers” in an Antarctica Science article. The article is unclear as to whether 150,000 penguins are already dead from starvation or if that number will die.)
