"Another overhyped global warming claim bites the dust"
This is kind of sad.
So many helpful intentions seem to end with unintended consequences.
We really have to be careful when we try to "fix" environmental things...

Anthony Watts has the story at WattsUpWithThat.com:
"Now it appears that assertion of a link between global warming and penguin deaths is dying faster than the penguins themselves. In what appears to be a manifestation of the observer effect problem in science (the act of observing changes the outcome) we have this article from the science journal Nature that says the act of tagging penguins so they can be tracked by researchers, seems to have a significant side effect on their life expectancy (mortality) and ability to reproduce."
