In places like Antarctica, small things can make a difference. Scientists are finding that penguin waste is helping form clouds, which could be offsetting the effects of climate change.

The findings may signify a much more dynamic Antarctic landscape history than previously recognized, including added support for a glacial period around 300 million years ago.

"That's the difference between, say, maybe a nine or 10 minute time from earthquake to tsunami hitting coastal communities, to something more like 20 to 30 minutes, potentially," Tobin said.

Penguin poop, also known as guano, is notoriously smelly. But the ammonia in the birds’ excrement does more than just stink—it can play a role in cloud formation over Antarctica. Those clouds ...
