Fiction Story Chapter 4! (finally)

Artica chuckled. Her family looked at her. "Well it's true, I'll never eat 'um." Her sister rolled her eyes. "I'm going to my room to listen to my penguinPOD." she said. "Artica I really think you should go to her house and buy a box, just for the support." Mom said. Artica looked at her with her warm brown eyes. "Mama" she whinnied. Mom gave her the look. "Okay but you're paying for them" Artica said. Mom handed her five bucks. Artica put on her coat, mittens and hat and headed out into the cold South Pole air.

Merry Christmas!!!

URGENT NEWSFLASH!

PLEASE LISTEN UP PEOPLES THIS IS PROBABY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I WILL EVER PUT ON THIS WEBSITE! I WAS JUST ON YAHOO AND READ THIS:

COPENHAGEN (AFP) – Climate change threatens the survival of dozens of animal species from the emperor penguin to Australian koalas, according to a report released Monday at the UN climate summit.

Rising sea levels, ocean acidification and shrinking polar ice are taking a heavy toll on species already struggling to cope with pollution and shrinking habitats, said the study from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), an intergovernmental group.

"Humans are not the only ones whose fate is at stake here in Copenhagen -- some of our favourite species are also taking the fall for our CO2 emissions," said Wendy Foden, an IUCN researcher and co-author of the study.

The report details how climate change undermines the viability of 10 species, including the leatherback turtle, the beluga whale, clownfish, the emperor penguin and salmon.

Australia?s iconic bear-like koala faces malnutrition and ultimate starvation as the nutritional quality of eucalyptus leaves declines as CO2 levels increase, the report added.

Polar species are especially hard hit.

The ringed seal is being forced further north as sea ice it relies on for rearing its vulnerable pups retreats every decade.

The emperor penguin, remarkably adapted to thrive in harsh Antarctic conditions, faces similar problems. Reduced ice cover makes it harder to mate and raise chicks, and has caused a sharp decline in the availability of krill, a major food source.

As once-frozen tundra gives way to forest, the common red fox has moved northward, where it hunts and competes with its far rarer arctic cousin.

The beluga whale is doubly threatened by global warming: loss of sea ice makes it tough to find prey, and the rush to open new maritime routes is likely to result in deadly ship strikes, as happens elsewhere.

"For a large portion of biodiversity, climate change is an additional and major threat," said Jean-Christophe Vie, deputy head of the IUCN?s Species Programme.

In tropical regions, more than 160 species of staghorn corals -- and the tens of millions of people that depend on healthy coral reefs for their livelihood -- are dying off due to ocean acidification, a direct result of warming seas.

For clownfish, brought to the screen by Hollywood in the animated blockbuster "Finding Nemo", the changing ecosystem impairs sense of smell, which they use to find the sea anemones they rely on for protection.

Salmon stocks are dropping off not just from overfishing but because lower oxygen levels resulting from increased water temperatures boost susceptibility to disease and disrupt breeding.

The United Nations climate talks are tasked with forging a durable solution to global warming and helping poor countries cope with its consequences. They are set to end with a summit on Friday with around 120 leaders attending.

Fiction story Chapter 3!

Artica flung open the igloo door. It wasn't a crash it was just graceless Pengu. She had on mittens and her favorite snow cap. "Sorry to um, disturb you but do you wanna buy Penguin Scout cookies?". A frustrated look came over Arctica's face. "Come on in she responded". Pengu followed her in. Arctica opened the cabinet. Boxes of Penguin Scout cookies fell out from previous years. "Sure but I'll never eat them." Pengu scowled and left the house with a "good day".

Artica felt a tap on her shoulder. "Ahhhhhhh!" she screamed. "I'll spit him.." she turned around. "Oh dad it's just you". A look came over dad's face. "whom did you think it was Artica". Artica looked at the Aurora Borealis, "only the Great Spirit knows". She hopped up annd followed her father back into the igloo. Her igloo was nicer than Pengu's (her BFF) but also very small. She had to share the igloo with mom,dad,her little baby sister, her older sister and her older brother. She sat down at the table and sighed. "I wish that sorta' thing would happen more often" she said sipping her cocoa. "What thing" her sister asked. "The Borealis". A crash came from outside.

Start of a Fiction Story!

Artica the penguin gazed into the wonders of the Aurora Borealis. Her whole body numb from sitting on the ice cube for hours. She reached for the fishing rod next to her. She cast and caught. "Look little fishy" she cooed, "can you see the Aurora..." she plopped him into her mouth. She felt eyes on her back. It couldn't be the great spirit, I mean all she did was eat a fish it's her second nature, or, or, or... could it be?
