Penguins


I became interested in penguins after studying global warming in Core class. People make are air, water, soil, and food Pollution caused global warming. Also, “Global warming is disrupting wildlife and the environment on every continent, according to an unprecedented study that reveals the extent to which climate change is already affecting the world`s ecosystems” (Sample, 2008, para. 1). The population of the Antarctic penguin has been decreasing because of global warming. Also, penguins have losing their habits. Moreover, they need to eat krill or lantern fish, but it is not enough because of global warming. Global warming caused very serious problems. According to Smith (2008), penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula gradually died and moved their habitat because of global warming. Another author says that “A slight increase in temperature has a huge effect on krill production” (Zarembo, 2008, para 14).
In my paper, I plan to write that the world should protect to penguins. First, the world make artificiality city. Next, the world should make their feed because of iceberg is melting. Finally, the world should prevent to global warming worse.
I have found a variety of articles that losing their habits, decreasing their feed and melting icebergs. Also, I have found useful websites that will help me talk about the situation in Antarctic. I still need to find an article about how can we protect to Antarctic, and how can we have a solution.
