This preliminary study has investigated the potential presence of self-awareness in a population of wild Adeìlie penguins in East Antarctica on the basis of responses and reactions of individual penguins to images, generated in mirrors, using three experimental paradigms. These appear to be the first investigations into the potential presence of self-awareness in any penguin species in their natural environment, without any prior familiarisation, conditioning or acclimatisation to the experimental paradigms employed.

More importantly, the question to be raised is whether award selection in the past has been fair and equitable.

Our analysis of IPCC Sixth Assessment scenarios shows that they disregard both the historical responsibility of the Global North for carbon emissions as well as the future energy needs of the Global South required to meet developmental goals.
