It’s interesting how hyper-Warmist Yale Climate Connections Samantha Harrington picks Independence Day to run this, eh?
How climate change could hurt bald eagles
Over the past 50 years, bald eagles in the U.S. have returned from the brink of extinction. Now, the birds perch on tree branches over rivers and lakes across much of the country.
But as the climate changes, eagles will face new challenges. For example, in some areas, more frequent droughts may threaten bodies of water that eagles depend on.
Bateman: “If the area is becoming drier and if it affects its food resources such as fish in river systems then that’s going to be a big problem for the species.â€
That’s Brooke Bateman, senior scientist at the National Audubon Society. She says global warming may also bring extreme weather with damaging winds that can endanger nests and baby birds. In the south, extreme heat could threaten the birds’ ability to reproduce.
ZOMG, nature might change! How weird is that? The climate had always been totally stable prior to the Industrial Revolution and fossil fueled vehicles, you know!
Taking all these factors into account, the Audubon Society predicts that three quarters of the bald eagles’ current summer range will become unsuitable for the birds in 60 years.
These people and their crystal balls.
The real danger is windmills.
It’s true. If Global warning is true, then the oceans will be warmer and fish will be more numerous and larger. The Eagles will get so fat they will die from obesity, eagle diabetes, and clogged arteries.
