There are many, many reasons to advocate for addressing climate change/global warming, which I do. At the top of the list is the endangerment of cold-climate organisms and ecosystems.
And at the top of that list is penguins. Antarctica may seem resistant to the warming climate, but it really isn't, and the lifestyle of those accustomed to its harshness can actually be threatened if the climate becomes less harsh.
Climate change threatens emperor penguins with extinction, officials say"While sea ice around Antarctica has proved more durable than ice near the North Pole, nearly all emperor penguin colonies in the southern continent would be pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century without dramatic cuts to global greenhouse gas emissions, scientists projected last year."
