The Wall Street Journal is infested with science deniers. Evolution makes these Republican morons cry. Global warming makes these stupid fucking assholes cry. The stupidity is overwhelming.

The Secret Is Out: Scientists Spot Penguin ‘Super-Colony’ in Antarctica. Researchers discover Adélie penguins are thriving, despite weather patterns and other concerns.

On the Danger Islands of Antarctica, researchers have discovered one of the world’s largest colonies of Adélie penguins, harboring more than a million birds of a species long thought to be succumbing to changing weather patterns and dwindling food supplies.

The Adélies are dressed by nature in formal black and white. Their eyes are rimmed by distinctive white rings that resemble spectacles. And in recent decades, their fortunes have shifted with long-term changes in the annual ice conditions on which they depend, with eight or more colonies along the Antarctic Peninsula vanishing.

For that reason, the discovery of such a large new colony surprised some scientists.

Somebody else wrote this excellent comment for the brain-dead Republicans who think human caused global warming is wrong:

"Those skeptical of the motivations of the scientific community should note that this new information was reported by scientists in a scientific journal. The scientific method is agnostic, and the scientific community is generally honest. If the data contradict accepted theories, then publish the findings and try to explain them. The same applies to anthropogenic climate change. When results which seem to contradict accepted theories become available, scientists acknowledge them and try to explain them. Scientists love to prove each other wrong! Currently, the vast majority of scientists believe the data in support of anthropogenic climate change is overwhelming. If credible new data become available that contradict the accepted theories, scientists will acknowledge them and try to explain them, modifying core theories if necessary. The idea that there is a vast conspiracy among scientists is absurd. I'm no fan of Al Gore, but he chose his title well. It's true and damned inconvenient."
