Most penguin data is invalid per Jan. 11, 2011, Nature cover story, "Reliability of flipper-banded penguins as indicators of climate change."

11/28/12, "12 Straight Months Of Above Normal Antarctic Sea Ice," Steven Goddard
"Today marks 365 consecutive days of above normal Antarctic sea ice. According to climate geniuses Jeff Masters and Bill McKitten, the odds against this are an astronomical 2^365 to one.

A few weeks ago, NSIDC featured an article explaining how declining sea ice cover threatens Penguins. Apparently they forgot to check the data before publishing that article.
------------------------------------------------------------
Earlier in 2012 US taxpayer funded (via NSF) 'researchers' had to admit their claims of penguin alarmism were erroneous:
4/13/12, "Twice as Many Emperor Penguins as Thought in Antarctica, First-Ever Penguin Count from Space Shows," Science Daily
Now that's forgotten and more US taxpayer money via NSF is spent claiming certain penguins are being killed by CO2. (Meaning Americans must pay billions).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Citation for NSF funding by the US taxpayer for April 2012 penguin report revealing penguin population was much larger than previously estimated:
"Funding: The authors would like to acknowledge and thank funding and provision of imagery from the National Science Foundation (NSF #1043681 and #0944220) which funded the U.S. component of this work. Imagery for the UK analysis was funded by the BAS Ecosystems/predators work package and UK Overseas Territories Fund (BAT601). The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript."
(BAS is funded by the U.K.'s Natural Environment Research Council.)
-------------------------------------------------------------
An 11/21/12 study alleging penguin harm due to CO2 actually took place in 2005. (See subhead 'Methods' at link.) Major funding is again provided by the US taxpayer via NSF.
11/21/12,. From PlosOne.org: Funding for the penguin alarmism study published 11/21/12:
"Funding: This work was supported by NSF Grants
OPP 0229638, 0538594 and 0944220, and by funds from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (A19255001), and the program “Bio-Logging Science of The University of Tokyo (UTBLS)”. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript."

The Nov. 2012 article below acknowledges Antarctic sea ice volume hit a record maximum in 2012 but claims there's new hope for blaming CO2 on penguin deaths. They say it's that the ice moves around and negatively affects "foraging" behavior. But the Jan. 2011 Nature
study found metal "banding" itself could change foraging. Antarctic ice shifts constantly as stated in NSIDC quotes below. It's nice of them to use our tax money via NSF to pay for CO2 research allegedly "proving" we have to pay more due to CO2.
11/21/12, "Sea ice found critical for emperor penguins' foraging," MSNBC, Becky Oskin
"Emperor penguins rely on sea ice for breeding and feeding. Shifting patterns of sea ice due to changing climate in the Antarctic could alter the penguin's behavior and ecology, said study author Shinichi Watanabe, an animal ecologist and professor at Fukuyama University in Hiroshima, Japan.
The Antarctic sea ice hit a record maximum this year, but the sea ice distribution around the continent is changing, while the penguins nest in the same place every year.
"If penguins don't stay on the ice during foraging trips, they may not be able to sustain such long trips," Watanabe told OurAmazingPlanet.
The image of thousands of penguins shuffling across the frigid Antarctic ice was immortalized in the film "March of the Penguins."".... ..

NSIDC says Antarctic sea ice is always changing.
11/28/12, NSIDC, "All about sea ice," "Arctic vs Antarctic," "Geography:" "The Antarctic is almost a geographic opposite of the Arctic, because Antarctica is a land mass surrounded by an ocean. The open ocean allows the forming sea ice to move more freely, resulting in higher drift speeds...."Almost all of the sea ice that forms during the Antarctic winter melts during the summer."

Penguins have long been exploited to sell CO2 terror (which Americans must pay for):
'Per WWF,' global warming killing off penguins. "The Emperor is thought to be the most vulnerable of all Antarctic species to climate change."
12/11/2007, "Penguins now threatened by global warming," UK Telegraph, Paul Eccleston
"Global warming is threatening one of the most endearing symbols of Antarctica - the penguin....
The environmental conservation group WWF is warning that rising temperatures and the resulting loss of sea ice is robbing the emblematic birds of the nesting grounds they need to breed successfully....
The most vulnerable of the four species at risk is the biggest, the Emperor...
Emily Lewis-Brown said: "The UN climate change summit underway in Bali must agree a process now which results in comprehensive, ambitious, and fair global emission reduction targets beyond the current phase of Kyoto which ends in 2012. It's vital that governments agree upon a clear, shared vision to keep global warming to less than 2°C above pre-industrial levels."
The charity also wants to see international action to protect Antarctica from other pressures such as fisheries and tourism."...
===========================
7/13/2009, "Climate Change Likely to Devastate Emperor Penguin Populations in Antarctica," NSF.gov, "Survival of species could be threatened"
"You might call them the "poster children" of Antarctica. Penguins have long topped the charts as the iconic animal of the frozen continent.
But now, a new study indicates melting sea ice, caused by climate change, may soon wreak havoc on one colony of emperor penguins--and that could spell doom for a large swath
- of the entire species."...
Of course the NSF is admittedly unable to do its job anyway.

Without dying penguins, thousands of people would lose their jobs especially in academia. EU carbon trading would fall further in the tank. The UK monarchy would collapse. Organized crime would be angry. Ordinary Americans can't seem to understand that they should shut the hell up.

Ed. note: Continents moved about long before the US existed and will continue to do so. The Antarctic is seen as money in the bank because the government has limitless access to US taxpayer money to send "teams" of researchers there, and the teams aren't about to come back and say, sorry no global warming. The point is to silence ordinary Americans and keep them that way. If you brainwash people from birth over a generation, and you have virtually no opposition, obviously you can make people believe anything. 82% of Muslims in Egypt believe you should be stoned to death for adultery:
