I know you are all waiting for cheap oil, but

"Cutting the carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels to zero is the only way to halt global heating. WWF is also calling for emperor penguins to be listed as a “specially protected species” at the next Antarctic treaty meeting in May in Japan, which would help reduce other pressures on their habitat such as tourism and shipping."

“Human-induced climate change poses the most significant threat. Early sea ice breakup is already affecting colonies around the Antarctic, and further changes in sea ice will continue to affect their breeding, feeding and moulting habitat. Emperor penguins are a sentinel species that tell us about our changing world and how well we are controlling greenhouse gas emissions that lead to climate change.” >>
