Extinctions Now Underway

This article today indicates alarming and troublesome news concerning the numbers of migratory birds being observed, particularly in Europe. The numbers are also bleak for elsewhere on the planet. Most dedicated and even casual bird watchers have noticed a discernable decline in the numbers of songbirds and other small avians. The cliche " canary in a coal mine" is just as apt in this environment as it has been in the past when other serious environmental concerns were evident. Global warming is indeed having an impact on the planet and its ecosystems to an extent already, and the the rest of the flora and fauna on this world are approaching a point where they will be in great peril, as radical and intense changes to the climate around the globe is nearing and will commence in a sudden violent extreme explosion resulting in a shocking new planet evolving climatically and environmentally very quickly. The demise so strongly and suddenly in the number of birds been observed and noted in so many places is indeed a grave omen of what is coming soon on a more significant and profound level.
