You could not make it up... or could you?

Daily Mail
Climate change blamed for decline in penguins: Population has halved in 30 years in western Antarctica
"Climate change effects on food sources may have contributed to a halving of penguin populations in western Antarctica, a new study suggests.Researchers found that populations of Adelie and chinstrap penguins in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) and Scotia Sea had fallen by 50 per cent in the last 30 years.The decline was directly related to a huge reduction in numbers of the penguins' main prey, shrimp-like krill."
ED:Best summed up in the comments...
Well since the only evidence of rising temperature is based on fraudulent temperature data I doubt that temperatures has anything to do with the decline. Now the competition for shrimp with shrimp fishing would more likely be a contributor to the decline. Writers need to realize that making any connection to "climate change" will destroy any credibility to the story. You can't reference a scam as a credible source.
