Penguins die in 'catastrophic' Antarctic breeding season

All but two Adelie penguin chicks have starved to death in their east Antarctic colony, in a breeding season described as "catastrophic" by experts.
It was caused by unusually high amounts of ice late in the season, meaning adults had to travel further for food.
It is the second bad season in five years after no chicks survived in 2015.
Conservation groups are calling for urgent action on a new marine protection area in the east Antarctic to protect the colony of about 36,000.
WWF says a ban on krill fishing in the area would eliminate their competition and help to secure the survival of Antarctic species, including the Adelie penguins.
Damn

Doesn’t take a dummy to realize the Earth tries to cool itself when too warm and vice versa. It actually fits the narrative perfectly.

Unless you subscribe to Gaia and Mother Earth goddess bs then the Earth doesn’t try to do anything

You see how this works fellas? They have all avenues covered.
Too hot? Ice melting...global warming
Too cold? Too much ice....global warming
They can't lose

The Earth doesn't have a brain and therefore can't try to do anything, actually.

Does the earth not practice homeostasis?
Is it not a biological organism?
Did you take 4th grade biology?

No, but it does take a dummy to attribute every adverse event in the world to global warming and dismiss every non-adverse event as a meaningless coincidence, which is what I was mocking.

Won't the earth fix itself if we just keep doing what we are doing?
