The rising global temperatures have put penguin populations at risk, with Adelie penguins declining by 40%. This decline disrupts the ecological balance as penguins play a crucial role in the ecosystem. The shrinking sea ice threatens their habitat, increasing the challenges these birds face. To combat these issues, implementing alternative energy sources like wind and solar power can help mitigate the effects of global warming and safeguard penguin populations for the future.

The most serious consequence of global warming is?(you fill in the title with your focus answer)
Overall Scope of global warmingIt is evident that global temperatures have been rising in the last 100 years and that the last 1000 years has no similarly warm period.
Penguins are in troubleYou can see how central penguins are too other species.
Specific data on topic • Adelie Penguin population has declined 40% • Chinstrap Penguins that like open water are increasing.
Google earth viewThis is a view of a penguin rookery on South Georgia. • Add appropriate view
Impact • Fewer penguins upset balance of seals and Killer whales that feed upon them. • Similarly penguins help regulate the populations of numerosu fish species • Penguins are a key component to shorebird populations.
Future problems • With storms increasing this threatens rookeries • Sea ice declining alters the habitat more and more • Therefore populations will suffer….
One solution • Wind energy • Solar energy • Alternative automobile fuel • Etc. • Why?
