[2] Humans cause penguins harm because of the extent of their contribution to the climate crisis. It’s an umbrella for countless branching side effects. For example, military pollution, oil spills, invasive species, and illegal egg poaching are all ways humans endangered penguins — each of these reasons intensifies because of climate change affecting temperatures, pollution distribution, and irregular animal movement.
