Stand up for that, and you will find that you are not alone.
Seaman is doing her best to raise awareness on the issues of climate change, just like the authors of all our previous readings.

She hopes the news will wake people up.
Just like Wallace-Wells, Seaman hopes that people will realize how bad and just how fast climate change is moving.
-
Tourists have a close encounter with Adélie penguins in the Antarctic Sound.
It looks like this specific part of Antarctica has more ice, most likely not as affected by global warming. This area most likely has a higher survival rate of penguins as well.
-
Adélie penguins try to beat the heat on Paulet Island.
We can see from the photo that there is barely any ice on the ground, and we can infer from that, that the sea water is most likely not that cold either.
-
“They were looking for any little patch of snow or ice to lay on.”
So much of the snow and ice have melted because of global warming, eliminating habitats for these arctic animals.
-
baby Adélie penguin with its tongue sticking out to cool off.
As cute as this sounds, penguins having to stick their tongue out to cool off sounds very saddening. I searched up a photo of this, and though it was not an Adélie penguin, the penguin looked very exhausted because of the heat.
-
Higher temperatures can also be difficult for cold-weather penguins, especially chicks, Seaman said.
Cold-weather species are not used to higher temperatures, so the effect on them will be more significant. Chicks are especially more vulnerable, and most of the recent issues have to do with chicks not being able to survive because of the effects climate change have caused.
-
So it has this incredible chain effect.
In nature, the chain effect with prey and predators is very important. When one species is affected, so are the rest.
-
They believe climate change is largely to blame, saying less sea ice and warmer oceans have reduced the krill that many of the penguins rely on for food.
Climate change is a big factor when it comes to the decline of the penguin population. Less sea ice and warmer temperatures affect penguin's diets, breeding, and habitat.
-
An Adélie penguin jumps over water at Brown Bluff on the Antarctic peninsula.
Different species of animals are having to adapt because of the loss of sea ice caused by global warming.
-
Tourists kayak near icebergs off the coast of Cuverville Island.
From the photo, it looks like there's barely any sea ice left in this particular region. There should be more considering it's the coast of an island in Antarctica.
-
Scientists say the planet is warming faster than previously thought and that the window is rapidly closing to cut our reliance on fossil fuels and avoid catastrophic outcomes.
We know this from the previous readings we did in class, climate change is real and it's happening fast.
-
nearly 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) in the last 50 years.
The Antarctic peninsula is one of the fastest warming regions on Earth, in the past 50 years, the temperatures have risen nearly 3 degrees, raising sea levels and in turn threatening animals who rely on that environment to survive.
-
Last year, Antarctica registered a record-high temperature of 18.3 degrees Celsius, or nearly 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
I think this temperature in Antarctica is mind blowing. We experience this temperature even here in California, where it's considered to be warmer and more tropical.
-
The white landscape isn’t so white anymore.
This is most likely one of the most significant effects of climate change on Antarctica.
-
And now it's just mud and rocks
Seaman mentions that there are places in the Antarctic where she's never seen the ground before, as there had always been snow cover. However, now the snow is gone and it's just mud and rocks.
-
which often turns the snow pink and sometimes green.
Another effect of climate change can be heard hear, snow algae turns the snow pink and sometimes green. This occurrence is not unusual, but what's unusual is that fact that the algae blooming is showing up earlier than usual.
-
Fragments of ice called bergy bits can make it difficult for people to travel on and off the coastline.
We can see from the photo that fragments of ice have formed in the sea, making it difficult for both humans and animals to move on and off the coastline.
-
She’s seen it with her own eyes.
The photographer, Seaman, has seen climate change affect the earth with her own eyes. She's been visiting Antarctica and she has been able to observe a noticeable change in just the past few years.
