I suppose it is not required that you read the article you are using to back up your name-calling and ridicule, but it really is not a good look.
From your article:
"...Surviving mostly on a diet of krill -- a small shrimp-like crustacean -- Adelie penguins, slick and efficient swimmers, have been generally faring well in East Antarctica.
But they have been declining in the Antarctic region more generally where climate change has taken its toll, with shifting ice reducing habitat while warming seas affect their prey..."
