Deaths attributed directly to climate change cast pall over penguins

January 29, 2014-Climate change is killing penguin chicks from the world's largest colony of Magellanic penguins, not just indirectly -- by depriving them of food, as has been repeatedly documented for these and other seabirds -- but directly as a result of drenching rainstorms and, at other times, heat, according to new findings from the University of Washington.

Basically, this article is warning that if we don't get any solution of reducing the CO2 emissions, we will kill more species such as penguin chicks. Food scarcity, climate change, and other factors makes a major impact and plays an important role in the global warming. Apparently, the penguin parents dies by hypothermia while they are protecting their eggs, however, since the climate changed, the temperature decreased in a significant way making an unresistant place for the penguins to live.

I got hooked with this article, specially because I'm part of the green team and we always wants to fix the damage that we have made to the environment. And by reading this article, makes me realize that the global warming has increased and therefore we should do something to stop it.

This article can make a connection between my life because, first at all, I heard the concept of global warming since I was little, Me and my generation probably have witnessed a serious change in the planet referring to the environment. Maybe, I will be the key, among with others of course, to restore what we have taken to the animals, their home. Can we do it? That's the question I will find out on the future.

This article has a global context of relashionship between human and natural world. If you think of it, we were the causes of destroying the natural world leading into deforestation, animal extinsion, etc.
