"About one-third of all American bird species are of high or moderate conservation concern due to low populations, declining population trends, or other threats."

@grrlscientist

And likely birds are dying because bugs are dying. Their populations are crashing as well. All this indicates that regional biomes are faltering.

What is non-observed is that every extreme weather event is an ecological disaster as well it degrades the region soil and vegetation, which means that the hydrological cycle immediately affected as well as larger scale consequences.

@grrlscientist

This paints, a picture of systemic disruption too much has been damaged too deeply for the systems be able to recover, and the increasing frequency intensity in scale of extreme weather is inflicting increasing levels of damage that ecological systems cannot repair from an adapt to.

This means that shits just beginning to die off of its own accord. It doesn’t matter how much CO2 is in the air anymore.

@grrlscientist dabling ducks have it figured out!!
