More evidence that this is about marketing schemes to sell the non scientific agenda!!

The Fish and Wildlife Service announced a proposal on Tuesday to list the birds as a threatened species.

Climate change is threatening emperor penguins with extinction in much of their range, federal wildlife officials said on Tuesday as they announced a proposal to protect them under the Endangered Species Act.
The penguins live much of the year on Antarctic sea ice, which is disappearing or breaking apart because of the heat-trapping gases released by humans’ use of fossil fuels. The penguins need the ice to breed, raise their young and escape predators.
“The decisions made by policymakers today and during the next few decades will determine the fate of the emperor penguin,” Martha Williams, principal deputy director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, said in a statement.
If listed as threatened, the birds would join a couple dozen species that the federal government considers threatened by climate change, including polar bears, two kinds of seals and 20 coral varieties.
metmike: This is an outright LIE! Here is the Antarctic sea ice extent below.
Just to be clear, Antarctic Sea Ice is not disappearing in the present nor has it been disappearing for as long as reliable satellite-based observations have been available.

Satellite observations have found a raft of new Emperor penguin breeding sites in the Antarctic.
The locations were identified from the way the birds' poo, or guano, had stained large patches of sea-ice.
The discovery lifts the global Emperor population by 5-10%, to perhaps as many as 278,500 breeding pairs.
It's a welcome development given that this iconic species is likely to come under severe pressure this century as the White Continent warms.
The Emperors' whole life cycle is centred around the availability of sea-ice, and if this is diminished in the decades ahead - as the climate models project - then the animals' numbers will be hit hard.

metmike: Again, this is entirely based on computer simulations of the atmosphere using subjectively chosen math equations to represent the suspected physics .....that have been WRONG about the Antarctic for 4 decades....but they refuse to adjust them because it serves as such a powerful POLITICAL tool, despite being ANTI scientific.
You want science?
I'll give you authentic science. Empirical data/facts/evidence from the last 40 years from actual measurements, not busted speculative simulations!
The fake polar bear crisis didn't work out so well for these people.
Polar bears were listed as threatened.............and they responded by increasing 30% since 2005.
