Emperor penguin and Antarctic fur seal now Endangered due to climate change – IUCN Red List Gland, Switzerland, 9 April 2026 (IUCN) – The emperor penguin and Antarctic fur seal are now both Endangered, according to The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. Climate change in Antarctica is leading to changes in sea-ice that are projected to cause the emperor penguin population to halve by the 2080s, while reduced food availability has already driven a 50% reduction in the Antarctic fur seal population since 2000. The southern elephant seal is also now at risk of extinction, due to disease.

2015–2025 are officially the hottest 11 years on record. 2025 was 2nd/3rd hottest at +1.43°C above pre-industrial levels. Earth’s energy imbalance is the highest in 65 years of measurements.

UN weather agency warns of record ‘climate imbalance’ as planetary warming accelerates All-time high greenhouse gas concentrations in Earth’s atmosphere continue to drive heat records on land and sea, with long-lasting consequences for humanity, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned on Monday.

The WMO's new State of the Climate report: greenhouse gas concentrations at record highs, the hottest 11 years in recorded history, and a new indicator showing Earth's energy imbalance is accelerating. Over 3 billion people depend on the systems most affected.
