Two weeks ago I heard a report stating all Emperor Penquins would be dead by the end of the century.

Damn, I hate it when bad news dies on the vine. /s

Considering the way they live, more ice would pose a dire threat. They nest many miles from the ocean on the very edge of survivability. Less ice would probably be a good thing.

Actually, this is bad news for Emperor penguins. More sea ice means farther travel to nesting grounds. If the moms don’t make it back in time, their chicks die.
