Bologna, there's no way that climate change has begun to affect anyone, it is still being debated..
Wrong, while the government has been disputing where the finger should point, mother earth has not been waiting for an answer.
It is easy to get caught up in how this can affect us, the "center of existence", but who is the real victim and how are they going to be affected?
BIRDS
In the study outlined by this article, of 588 species of birds in the U.S. and Canada, 314 of them will be facing, as the ornithologist have the displeasure of saying, "unsure outcomes" in the near future due to climate change.
Warmer climates have forced many birds, for example 40 species of Western song birds, to seek refuge in the cooler climate of the Western Mountains. But, as is discussed: What happens when these animals leave their natural habitats for lands they are unsure possess the ingredients they need for life? Uncertainty.
Climate change is not discriminative; your favorite all-american birds such as the bald eagle and the common loon will experience drastic reduction in habitable landscape within the next 65 years (up to 75%). Is it fair to our symbol of freedom and glory to be limited by humanly negligence?
Is it natural for record setting droughts in California, now exceeding the 1988 drought and the 1930's Dust Bowl? Is it natural for 90-95% of raptors nests to fail, in these areas because of droughts? The absence of these apex predators (such as raptors) will have a profound effect on the ecosystems they live in.
The effects of global warming are not localized to droughts and bird population. The effects go much deeper than the news media cares to cover:
1. Higher temperature
2. Changing landscapes
3. Wildlife danger
4. Rising seas
5. Increased drought, fight and flood chances
6. Stronger storms and increased storm damage
7. More heat-related illness and disease
8. Economic losses
For more comprehensive information on climate change and it's effects go HERE.
The summation of these consequences will bring changes in your lifetime and change the world as we know if for your children and your children's children.
Climate change is now, and collateral damage is imminent if we cannot find a way to secure the global environment.
What excuse will you use for spying on your neighbors when the local birds are dead or gone?
