The Emperor Penguins hold one of nine spots as animals which are threatened by global warming, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Increasing global greenhouse gas emissions, leading to global warming, is the single most cause which has driven penguins to fear extinction in the near future. If we continue on our current course, global temperatures will rise by an average of 2.8–4°C in this century, which is 4 to 6 times more than during the previous century. Ocean waters will become corrosive from the depths to the surface in many regions, and Antarctic sea ice will continue to disappear at accelerating rates
. Some small colonies of emperor penguins have already disappeared due to the significant effects of global warming.

  2. Try putting your pages in tabs instead of a single page. You have a great outline, just need to put info in them.

  4. I would suggest using tabs to illustrate where your pages are to help the reader. Also the information on a lot of these pages is very vague, it's a good start though!
