Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jim M." data-source="post: 3319527" data-attributes="member: 60675">Thanks. Glad to see it. Before posting, I did in fact click on the link, reviewed it quickly, and searched for "warming" and "climate" (or something like that).  Which yielded nothing.  But my main goal was to make sure the issue was raised in this thread, because it had not even been mentioned so far and there is a significant chance of all this discussion generating more such attempts by people who will not take such steps.If I did a global big year, I certainly would take such steps.  (Though I'm not planning any such attempt).  Global big years are surely the most carbon intensive endeavor in all of birding bar none.  [EDIT: Frankly, at this point in the history of the planet, they strike me, to borrow a book title, as "a supremely bad idea."]</blockquote>
