Doomed! DOOMED, we say!

Dead birds:

Up to 900 species of tropical land birds around the world could become extinct by 2100, researchers say.


So? Many millions of species have gone extinct on this planet. It's called natural selection. Ten per year is a tiny drop in the evolutionary bucket.

The finding is modelled [sic] on the effects of a 3.5C Earth surface temperature rise, a Biological Conservation Journal paper shows.


Ah, I see. Well then, I suppose they'd better flutter their hands and exclaim breathlessly until funding to study AGW-induced bird deaths is increased, hadn't they?

"Science" my ass; this is about their preference for steak over hamburger.

I predict that half of the people alive today will be dead by the year 2100. I will need, oh, 50 million the first year and 5 million every year after to study what is killing off half the people on the planet.
Note: after I receive this grant, I will be hiring a staff, so get your resumes together.
