It's for the birds! Habitat loss is not Global Warming.

It’s interesting how they keep these classroom topics from the Sophomore year in the headlines.

[Para-Ord.45]

Pure BS from the IPCC of course:

” The resilience of many ecosystems is likely to be exceeded this century by an unprecedented combination of climate change, associated disturbances...20-30% of plant and animal species assessed so far are likely to be at increased risk of extinction “

Known species extinctions in the last several centuries total about 1,000, with very few if any solely attributed to man-made climate change.

BEIJING, Nov. 25 (Xinhuanet) — 178 new species of fish

Scientists have found more than 700 new species of marine creatures in seas once thought too hostile to sustain such rich biodiversity.

I'm so sick of this. Is there any way to stop these people?

The paid prognosticators have spoken. They have forgotten the golden rule of futurists though and predicted an outcome they may yet live to see. Should’ve said 2075 or 2100 just to make sure.

[coon2000]

Good! The damned songbirds start up just before the sun rises here (Roswell, GA). I never get to sleep in because of all their singing.

By natural evolution, hundreds if not thousands of species become extinct through attrition each year. And as many new species emerge.

So all these let's 'save the slack-jawed woodpecker' and 'Have you fed a purple people-eater today?' endangered species programs are just so much hype.

(I really don't know that for sure, but neither do the free-loading hypesters know that it isn't true. But then, I'm not getting paid for my guesswork.)

By 2050, up to 900 species of land birds could be threatened by climate change and habitat destruction through activities such as logging. By 2100, the number of bird species on the World Conservation Union's Red List of threatened species may more than double.
,br> Could be. May. Therefore, we should do whatever they recommend, those whose success of prediction runs even worse than that of psychics.

[Piquaboy]

We are all doooomed! Just like the ice age I went through they told me about happening.

[MrEdd]

I need to get eating then, so I can try one of each before it’s too late.

Birds Ya’ Say ??,,,mmmmm,,,I recommend a 20 gauge,#6 shot,,
That won’t tear em’ up too bad...;0)

[CPOSharky]

I saw a pile of dove feathers this morning. Probably a from a hawk of some kind that was enraged by the excess of CO2.

[montag813]

Notice how they never say how many NEW species of birds will emerge in the adaptation to the new climate. The Earth is 4 billion years old. Do these leftist windbags think this has never happened before? Earth lost perhaps 90% of ALL species after the great catastrophic asteroid impact. Somehow Earth recovered and produced new, fantastically diverse plant and animal life.

[BuffaloJack]

Survival of the fittest. Adapt or die.

[expatpat]

BS.

If the birds are not smart and adaptable enough to survive a slight warming process, they are not the fit enough in Evolution's "survival of the fittest".

[Our man in washington]

May I suggest a simple experiment:

1. Take any species and place it an enviroment it’s used to. Worms in the ground, fish in water, etc.

2. Set the temperature of that environment to mean temperature that the species lives in.

3. Count how many of that species you have in your controlled environment.

4. Raise the temperature of your controlled environment by one degree.

5. Count how many of the species die.

6. Get back to me if you can find a single solitary creature where an increase of a degree causes massive death.

If such a species existed, it would go extinct every summer.

[Disambiguator]

Remember that the phrase “up to” includes the number zero.

[Cinnamon]

oh noes! it’s the end of the world as we know it!

[hedgetrimmer]

Free human beings will be extinct by then if the corporatist fascist G8 succeed in their truly evil plans.
