More than 90% of emperor penguin colonies are predicted to be all but extinct by the end of the century, as the continent’s seasonal sea-ice withers in an ever-warming world.
But the research team watched as sea-ice under emperor rookeries fragmented in November, before thousands of chicks had had time to fledge the slick feathers needed for swimming.
Antarctic summer sea-ice has been on a sharp downturn since 2016, with the total area of frozen water around the continent diminishing to new record lows.
Between 2018 and 2022, roughly a third of the more than 60 known emperor penguin colonies were affected in some way by diminished sea-ice extent - whether that’s ice forming later in the season or breaking up earlier.
She links the causes for the current decline to anomalously warm ocean water around the continent and a particular pattern of winds, which in the case of the Bellingshausen, has pushed ice back towards the coast, making it difficult to spread.
Currently, emperors are classified as “Near Threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the organisation that keeps the lists of Earth’s most endangered animals.

From the reports its the entire high command that got merked on that plane sooooo…maybe nobody and Wagner get fully absored in the Russian armed forces, who is to say
One general dude got dismissed too today, it’s a belated consolidation of power IMO.
Let things chill from the “march on moscow”, get people complacent, wack hard.
What’s for sure is that Wagner is absolutely not going to open a “new front” from Belarus as things stand.
Let the speculation commence, one hypothesis is that said cleaning house is necessary for the preliminary steps to negotiations? After all, key NATO elements and some major western news have been hinted that the conflict can only end by negotiation. A key element to make that happen from the Russian POV is to get rid of their “rabbid dogs” like Wagner. They also cracked down last months on pro-insane escalation elements like ppl who were key to stage of conflict starting 2014, like Strelkov (who’s now jailed).
These Russian characters sure are dramatic. When this is all over I hope we get some good documentaries and movies about this whole special military operation fiasco.
In comments later released by the Spanish football federation Hermoso - Spain’s all-time leading scorer - said the moment was a “natural gesture of affection”. “It was a totally spontaneous mutual gesture because of the immense joy that winning a World Cup brings,” the 31-year-old forward added.
I don’t think either of you know how powerful a moment of elation like that can be. I think she gets it because she was there, living it too. Context, as always, is everything.
Yeah, might. It's good good to question it even if that's the case. Maybe next time someone will think twice about doing something similar if it's not consensual.
I get the sentiment but fuck… every time I see this type of comment it makes it seem as though women are meek powerless individuals it’s like backhanded feminism
I get it’s still a problem I agree, my point is it shouldn’t always just be assumed this is the case that a person has no ability to fend off anyone with a larger power dynamic
Well that’s kind of what the original person said and I gave another option. You don’t know. I don’t know. But saying they’re banging because she changed what she said isnt fair either.
Without relation to what Hermoso (or the RFEF PR team) says, it was not appropriate. Even if they are friends, Rubiales is there as La Liga president, not as a friend.
What would have been the public reaction if Infantino would have kissed Hermoso?
What would have been the public reaction if Rubiales would have kissed Queen Letizia?
This guy is a shame to Spanish soccer, I am surprised the backslash is mainly in social media and the mainstream media is just banking with clickbait low level articles. A shame.
Just for context, it has been revealed that the alleged statement of “natural gesture of affection, etc” is false and forged.
It was released by the Federation, but she never said that.
She has only said that she did not liked it and won’t make any more statements at the moment.
Hermoso was pressured too in the trip back home to appear on the “apology” video from the president (spoiler: he does not really apologize and before that he insulted everybody that did not like the kiss on the radio) but she refused.
The coach tried to persuade the family in the plane too, three times. They did not cave.
“Big data is this vast mountain,” says former Netflix executive Todd Yellin in a video for the website Future of StoryTelling.
Facebook had been keeping track of other websites I’d visited, including a language-learning tool and hotel listings sites.
Netflix told me that what a user has watched and how they’ve interacted with the app is a better indication of their tastes than demographic data, such as age or gender.
“No one is explicitly telling Netflix that they’re gay,” says Greg Serapio-Garcia, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge specialising in computational social psychology.
According to Greg, one possibility is that watching certain films and TV shows which are not specifically LGBTQ+ can still help the algorithm predict “your propensity to like queer content”.
For me, it’s a matter of curiosity, but in countries where homosexuality is illegal, Greg thinks that it could potentially put people in danger.
A prisoner believed to have been released early to fight with Wagner mercenaries in Ukraine has been accused of committing a double murder in Russia after returning home from the war.
The BBC has been told that Kevorkyan was later spotted back in his home village of Pridorozhnaya in Krasnodar, south-west Russia telling people he had just returned from the battlefields of Ukraine.
Hundreds of people helped search remote countryside and Tatyana’s mother began a six-hour journey to the area, catching a plane and train from her small village in Siberia, in eastern Russia.
A video of Prigozhin at a Russian jail shows him telling rows of prisoners lined up in identical black fur hats that he prefers convicts who have murdered more than once and offenders who have beaten up a state official or policeman.
The BBC has confirmed that suspects in about 20 serious offences, including rape and murder, are Wagner fighters recruited in prison and released early to serve in Ukraine.
The most she feels she can do is support a petition that’s already gained tens of thousands of signatures to demand Kevorkyan - the chief suspect of her daughter’s murder - gets a life sentence, if convicted.
It’s a public school so payout will come from the taxpayers and not the budget for school. And the issue is not that they couldn’t prevent it, she reported the aggresive behaviour earlier in the day before being shot, but was ignored.
If I remember correctly about this incident, it wasn't only that the school was warned about the child's behavior from previous incidents and from earlier that day and it had been ignored, as you have already received a comment about, but I believe the mother also called the school to tell them her gun was missing and she believed the child had it and they didn't do a thorough enough search for it - I believe they only looked in his backpack and not in his desk or jacket, etc.
Elon Musk has said X, formerly known as Twitter, will pay the legal bills of anyone who is treated unfairly by their employer for their activity on his social media platform.
On Sunday, Mr Musk told users that financial assistance from his platform would have “no limits”.
Mr Musk is a self-described “free speech absolutist” and has been vocal in his criticisms of the platform’s policies on moderating content prior to his takeover.
When he announced that he was taking over Twitter in April last year, Mr Musk said “free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated”.
More recently, the firm that owns Twitter announced that it was suing an anti-hate organisation whose research criticised the platform.
X Corp accused CCDH of “unlawful acts” to “improperly gain access” to its data.
