will penguins become extinct in the next 10 years ?
What species? Not the Macaroni at that rate
Stolen from internet: 11,654,000
Population. Larger penguin species are found in colder climates where their large body mass enables them to cope with the conditions, while smaller penguins inhabit warmer climes. The penguin species with the highest population is the Macaroni penguin with 11,654,000 pairs.

Amphibians.
Everything else dies next.
No point in worrying about Penguins if the frogs are all gone.
Golden Toad extinct, something something news article.

Dylan might have wrote about the penguin plight like this:
Yes, 'n' how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear penguins cry
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many penguins have died
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Ben, just pondering on the amphibian extinction issue which i have been loosely following for the last decade...
i am wondering if the greater amount of flooding and higher rainfall might help slow it down unles acidification of the water increases due tothe rain washing through urban areas and in turn polluting more of the previousely not as polluted water ways.

i am pondering what other species rely on such a massive food sourch and habitat regulitory mechanism
if memory serves most penguins only raise 1 chick per breeding cycle.
thus making the recovery of the species vastly more difficult than what some might calculate.
it might only take 2 or 3 bad breeding seasons to wipe out a majority of one species.
