“Rising temperatures are projected to reduce golden eagle breeding ranges by more than 40% later this century...”
Obviously, it’s the Golden Eagles fault, being in the wrong place. We’re doing all we can to save the planet.
Is this like the piece yesterday that claimed since it’s so stinking hot in the summer, the fat kids don’t want to play outside anymore. Play in front of a windmill and give ‘em a frosty. Problem solved.
1) Climate change may alter where eagles roam 60 or 80 years in the future.
(probably not, and --if so-- with little or no consequence)
2) Giant eco windmills are killing eagles now.
These people have lost their f**king minds.
What rising temperatures? The degree of increase (or decrease) of average temperatures year round and for the same day year over year sinks to a very small change, and virtually NONE of it may be attributed to anthropogenic sources.
It is possible, in something like an urban setting, that the activities would have an effect on the microclimate that surround that locality, as cities are notorious sources of heat energy release. But the effect is confined to the area most concentrated with development, and ten miles away, the effects disappear entirely.
The rationale for “going green” and using solar power collection panels or windmill towers to achieve that goal are a fool’s errand, as the solar panels and the windmill towers are MUCH more destructive of resources than the use of natural gas or even coal, and the use of nuclear power is even more effective, both on a cost basis and in the total volume of “waste” or “spent fuel rods”.
Carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant, but a vital part of the sustainable renewal of ALL of earth’s many life processes. Ignorance of this very basic fact is not excusable.
Rather a moot point when Gaia's planet will reach daytime temperatures of 212° F in the next 7 years.. /s
