Cool Penguins

This article talks about one kind of damage that Global Warming is causing.
The penguins that live on Crozet Archipelago in the Indian Ocean are suffering and are leaving less because the water is getting warmer. This animals are use to live in really cold climates and they are adapt to this kind of environment, they get their food from fish living in these oceans and also have their babies there.
But as all animals, this penguins take care of their offsprings for a while when they are just born, they give them food and them they go and leave them there so the babies have to survive by themselves and get their food, but this can't happen if the climate is not adecuate for them, so this brings a lot of consecuences, like making the penguin population go down and if later on this keeps going then the life of teh penguins would be shortened and if this keeps going on the penguins can be extint as many other animals that are in danger because of global warming and many other issues.
So what scientists are doing is puttin electronic ID tags to the penguins to know where they are and to identificate each of them and see how long they live and if they go back to take care of their babies or to see how the population is growing or coming down.

My opinion: I like a lot all sea animals so this article makes me feel bad because it's letting me know that the life of this animals and many other is in danger and that it can only be stopped if people care enough about them so that they can change they habits and make global warmind don't act so fast, so knowing that there is people that cares about the life of the animals makes me feel better and also makes me want to do something about it, like telling other people that don't believe in Global Warming that there are a lot of things going on that are true and that can be prevented, not just for the animals but for everyone.
