PENGUINS GASPING
Broadcast last night on SBS:
Aaron Lewis joins two Antarctic veterans as they return to assess the dramatic changes that global warming has wrought. They find receding glaciers and penguins literally gasping for air as the temperature heats up. An international current affairs program, presented by George Negus.
Via Chris S., who writes: “How on earth do penguins survive in places like Taronga Zoo if they are ‘literally gasping for air as the temperature heats up’ in Antarctica?” Beats me, but surely it’s only a matter of time now before penguins begin stalking humans, just like their friends over in the Arctic.
