The Audubon Society has supposedly released an alarmist report that climate change will be a threat to many bird species in North America.
However, I am trying to find the actual scientific study.
Instead, it seems as if this is just a publicity stunt to entice people to give money to the Audubon society.
All I can find on the web is information that resembles a press release. I can't find the actual study.
I heard the president of the Audubon Society talk about this on NPR this morning. He sounded like he did not know what he was talking about. He made several ridiculous claims that are absolutely not true.
1. He said climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. This is absolutely false. Ice Core climate records show that past fluctuations in climate have been much more drastic than those of today.
2. He claimed that 99% of raptors failed to produce young this year due to drought. I think he pulled that number from his tukus. Moreover, drought is weather, not climate.
3. He claimed that warming climate will lead to bird extinctions. Yet, during the Sangamonian Interglacial, the climate was much warmer than that of today and there were few, if any, bird extinctions.
I wish there were real scientists out there who would call BS on this publicity stunt.
