Melting Ice Could Push Penguins to Extinction. By Catherine Brahic, New Scientist, January 27, 2009. "A group of researchers have combined what is known about emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) ecology with forecasts from 10 leading climate change models to forecast the future of the species. It doesn't look good. The models predict that, unless fossil fuels are phased out, there is more than a one-in-three chance that 95% of the Adélie Land colony of eastern Antarctica -- the best studied emperor penguin colony [featured in the documentary, March of the Penguins] -- will be gone by 2100."
