Emperor Penguins Disappearing Faster Than Worst Estimates, Study Finds

New satellite data shows their populations have dropped 22% in just 15 years—twice as bad as previous estimates. With no industry to blame—no fishing, no pollution—climate change is the clear culprit. As Antarctic ice thins beneath their feet, entire colonies are losing their young. The message isn’t subtle: the ice is breaking, but you have to be in Antarctica to hear it clearly.
