Half of all bird species in North America including the bald eagle are at risk of severe population decline by 2080 if the swift pace of global warming continues, the National Audubon Society concluded in a study released Monday.
"The scale of the disruption we're projecting is a real punch in the gut," said Gary Langham, chief Audubon scientist.
Langham led an Audubon study that examined more than 500 bird species and determined that more than 300 in Canada and the United States face large climate shifts that could reduce their habitat by half or more by 2080.

If it gets the ones crapping on my car it’ll be worth it!!!
“Half of all bird species in North America including the bald eagle are at risk of severe population decline by 2080 if the swift pace of global warming continues,...”
You mean the swift pace that has resulted in no temp change since 1998?
Can’t correctly predict the weather a week in advance and they want us to believe what “might” happen in 65 years? Shaking head in disbelief....
Congress should pass a Law that any public figure pushing the scam of "Global Warming" be immediately jailed for attempted mass fraud.
This crap makes Bernie Madoff look like a Boy Scout.
Yep - NO global warming in 18 years means that the climate will be EXACTLY what it is today in the year 2080, right?
If the ones that crap on my Jeep are included in that half I’m all for it.
Wow. The stupid of these global warming fools BURNS.
Los Angeles Times threatened by climate change!
Get outa dodge you freaks!
Audubon Society, now there is an unbiased source if there was ever was one. Look at who runs the organization and how much money they have donated to the DNC and Democratic Candidates and the money to Republicans. Even their monthly magazine has at least one political dig against Republicans monthly, if not more.

No windmills nearby yet?
Global warming is a crock, but the true cause of loss of native birds until recently has been the proliferation of non-native bird species followed by habitat loss.
Starlings, especially, are a threat to native species. They multiply rapidly and take over other bird nests to do so. Habitat loss is another cause of native bird loss, but in recent years private conservation efforts have attempted to reverse that.
Of course, both windmills and solar facilities are becoming much more detrimental to bird populations, especially predators, as they are killed as they try to get to smaller birds hit by the blades or roasted as they fly between the collectors and the receiver.
Unfortunately, the population of the Northeast Liberal Gooney Loon is still growing...
With a habitat range of Central Mexico to the Alaska North Slope hard to imagine the climate of Southern Mexico reaching as far north as central Canada.
Well I’d say the wind farms and the solar farms are chopping and roasting most of them.
