RE: Changing temperatures in Antarctica could lead to population loss of over 70 % for the King penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus), putting them at serious risk for the future

Denying the human impact on the climate is irresponsible if not criminal.

It's crazy that there are still so many people who deny it. I guess denial is a type of coping mechanism or something, because I see way too many people that for some reason don't trust all the data we have to back up the claim that we humans are responsible for it.

What will future generations think about us if we chose to ignore the problem in spite of all the evidence?

That's a good question. I hope the narrative turns into something like "we almost destroyed the earth with fossil fuels, but changed to clean energy just before it was too late", but I'm getting more pessimistic by the way. At least China and India are beginning to take responsibility by building a lot of renewable energy sources such as solar panel farms.

Anyway, I'm on a rant now! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, @irelandscape!
