Apparently, Antarctica's penguins have developed a remarkable new condition: whatever happens to them, the diagnosis is always the same. There must be something in the Antarctic water, because in the space of roughly 24 hours, two major news organizations delivered dramatically different reports about the fortunes of Antarctica's penguins. The BBC informed readers that gentoo penguins are flourishing with climate change, while CBS News reported that an iconic penguin colony had suffered a popula...

News of climate change, if it can be called that, has to be examined to determine its source. If it’s from the mainstream media, it’s almost guaranteed to have been exaggerated to accentuate the bad features and attribute it to excess fossil fuel use. So no one should get too perturbed about such stories because they’re usually exaggerated, blown out of proportion, or pose much less of a threat to humanity than the alarmists faction would like us to believe. The contradictions in the above article are typical examples.
Surely by now all the world knows CAGW is a money-grabbing scam, perpetrated by the far left.
It’s not a left or right scam; it’s an across-the-board, ignorant-alarmist, money-grabbing scam.
I know of hard right-wingers who are petrified of CO2, plus I know left-wing people that have been ostracised for saying CAGW is total nonsense.
The Australian press actually mentioned both species of penguin in the same article, a long report about the large decline in the one species lamenting it as another sign of the harm coming from climate change and the last paragraph saying that the other species living in the same area were not effected.
Fellow commentators, many opinions expressed as to who invented and perpetuated climate crisis alarm.
Does anyone have a well-researched and well-reasoned answer based on data and analysis?
There is no point in just repeating baseless accusations without supporting evidence.
No one person or organization can be accredited.
Who was it that said –
“we have to ride this global warming shtick for all its worth, even if it doesn’t exist ”
?
Tim Wirth ...
“We’ve got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”
Showing it’s a political scam.
Antarctica didn’t have any penguins at all before the continent got so cold it became covered with ice. It had plenty of other plants and animals – all wiped out by “climate change”.
“Climate change” seems to cause widespread hallucinations amongst journalists, politicians, and the ignorant and gullible who style themselves “climate scientists” to avoid getting a real job.
Since all penguins eventually die, more live penguins today equals more dead penguins tomorrow.
“Most penguins live 15 to 20 years in the wild, though lifespans vary depending on the species and whether they live in the wild or in captivity.”
Well, the Penguins already went extinct in the Arctic
and so did the Polar Bears in Antarctica.
I’d blame global warming for that.
(now, where’s my Nobel Prize?)
Bipolar penguins?
Does this mean that now there are penguins at the North Pole?
There used to be, the original penguins (pen gwyn in Welsh means white head) were the Great Auk, when the penguins were discovered in the Antarctic they were named after them. The Great Auk were native to the Arctic but were hunted to extinction.

Dead and alive? Must be a zombie then….expect the next Hollywood production to be called “The living penguins” or something like that and most likely to bomb as digger, I wonder who the co-star would be…Badman perhaps? sarc
