Nothing like reporting on 'Climate Change' and using 'Media Headlines' instead of the data from NASA & other sources for the latest snow/ice data...
While reporting on the declining penguin populations - Over-fishing (actual cause) and also going on a ECO-Tour that is KNOWN to harm the incubating penguins and their survival rates...
Reminds me of Thailand. The Thai Government was promoting their Commercial fishing industry and crying about the coral damage & declining fish populations. They blamed it on the Local fishermen instead of the drag nets of the trawlers, fishing inside the restricted areas... Ha! Ha!
BTY - The US Government did the same thing off the Eastern Seaboard during the 1960/70s. Now the local fishing industry died off DECADES ago...
