Emperor penguins headed for 'threatened' status under Endangered Species Act – they're at risk from climate change

Emperor penguins survive in a ‘Goldilocks zone’ between too much sea ice and too little. Global warming is putting their chicks at risk and setting almost every colony on a path toward extinction.
