"The mass drowning of #emperor #penguin chicks as #sea #ice is melted by the #climatecrisis has led the International Union for #Conservation of #Nature (IUCN) to declare the #species officially in danger of #extinction... #globalheating has led to record lows in #Antarctic sea ice since 2016. When sea ice breaks up early, entire colonies can fall into the ocean, leaving the chicks to drown. Even if some penguins escape the water, they are soaked & will freeze to death."

Mass drowning of chicks puts emperor penguins at risk of extinction

Record low levels of Antarctic sea ice is having grim consequences for penguins yet to grow waterproof feathers

"Extreme heat is already creating “non-survivable” conditions for humans in heatwaves that have killed thousands and likely many more, according to new research that warns people are more susceptible to rising temperatures than first thought"

‘Non-survivable’: #heatwaves are already breaching #human limits, with worse to come, study finds

The absolute limit for humans to #survive had been assumed to be a six-hour exposure to a wet bulb temperature of 35C – a measure that accounts for #temperature and #humidity but has rarely been observed on the planet at that level.

On a side note: A) In 20-30 years, at 3°C #globalHeating and collapsed #AMOC we definitely will not go anywhere globally except #foraging for #food B) If the Orange Monosynapse continues the #war we will not go anywhere globally except foraging for food in the rubble THIS YEAR!
