Some excepts..
"THOUSANDS of penguin chicks are freezing to death as Antarctica is
lashed by rain and scientists say Adelie penguin numbers may have
dropped 80 per cent."
"Scientists say if the downpours continue, the species will be extinct
within 10 years."
"Temperatures in the Antarctic have risen by 3C in the past 50 years
to an average of -14.7C and rain is now more common than snow."
Wouldn't it have to be a lot hotte than that for rain to fall?
