@feldagast; fishy chicken!

It's terrible situation in the vast Antarctic, with summer temperatures actually hitting 40F and some of the highest high temp recorded for the area for millions of years. The penguins are dying, sadly. All thanks to mankind and our creation of global warming from burning fossil fuels.

Sad to see for such a beautiful bird.

"We present a population projection for the emperor penguin population of Terre Adelie, Antarctica, by linking demographic models (stage-structured, seasonal, nonlinear, two-sex matrix population models) to sea ice forecasts from an ensemble of IPCC climate models."

IPCC Climate Models have been repeatedly demonstrated to be crap.

No actual data was used in this piece of propaganda.

They used two flawed models to trawl for grant money.

Really? Not in a PropPer peer reviewed journal surely?

Wait for it.......

last i heard Models flawed or not counts as data.

I see Parker is not using the family braincell today!

Since when is a model real data?

Ahhh, it is so pleasant to read Noparks (he hates parks btw) comments on such a cruel situation as the one mankind has placed on the Emperor Penguins. Noparks (he hates parks btw) always insists on data, on numbers that prove HIS points view without looking at them really. Really, Noparks don't you care about these penguins? Are they just model data?

Noparks, just go ahead an admit that your just one of the paid by the word ($0.05 per 6/letter word) Koch money pulpit. If that's not the case, what's your beef with the birds?

Nearly 600,000 emperor penguins have been recorded in Antarctica, almost double previous estimates, with satellite mapping technology.

This species breeds in remote, often inaccessible habitats where temperatures can drop down to -50 degrees Celsius and winds can reach 124 miles (200 km) per hour, making it difficult to study these giant birds and monitor any impacts of global warming.
The international study used Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery of each colony along the continents coastline, fine-tuned by a process called pan-sharpening to improve the resolution and distinguish the birds from ice, shadow and guano (poo). Ground counts and aerial photos were used to check for accuracy.

We are delighted to be able to locate and identify such a large number of emperor penguins, said study lead author Peter Fretwell at British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in a press release.

'We counted 595,000 birds, which is almost double the previous estimates of 270,000 to 350,000 birds.'

Latif; good try for a looser.

We counted 595,000 birds, which is almost double the previous estimates of 270,000 to 350,000 birds.

Sounds good an respectable for an industrial shill does it not?
First, what this article sites is the count at "Terre Adéliet", NOT the whole of the Antarctic. Second, if there are 595,000 birds on the Antarctic you should be concerned that the ecosystem is falling much more rapidly than what we conservatively have estimated.

Bottom-line; your full of yourself.

Everywhere you look, the "doomed" polar bear's story is illustrated with the classic photo of a mother and cub teetering on an fragile-looking ice floe, the ice full of holes and seemingly about to disappear into the sea.

"The drama is clear: This is truly the tip of an iceberg, the bears are desperately stranded as the water swells around them," according to a recent article in The Observer magazine carrying the photo.

For a species that can swim dozens of kilometres to find a decent seal dinner, a few hundred metres to shore is a leisurely doggie paddle to safety. So much for the optic of a doomed global warming victim on ice.

A new US Senate report says: The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000 bears, up from as low as 5,000-10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. Not only is the number of polar bears 5 times higher than it was 50 years ago, but the research of the most prestigious scientists is being suppressed.

Polar Bear numbers are up over the 1960's because shotgun traps and auto-kill/maim traps were outlawed, and hunting restricted.

1,000 killed by hunters a year is not restricted.

Idiot.
