Jakarta Globe: There are few experiences more frustrating than a delay in travel plans caused by bad weather. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this may be something we will have to get used to in the future. In March, the IPCC released the fifth assessment of the impacts, adaptation strategies, and vulnerabilities related to global climate change. The report makes it clear that traveling in the future will become more of an ordeal. Extreme weather events related to climate change,...

McClatchy: Climate change is altering and destroying important habitats that America's migratory birds depend on, the National Wildlife Federation said Tuesday in a report. The environmental organization warns that a warming climate might lead to declines and even extinctions in some bird populations, and it calls on Congress and the president to curb carbon pollution and adopt what it calls "climate-smart conservation strategies." "We need urgent action at the local, state and federal levels to cut carbon...

Biologists worried by starving migratory birds, seen as tied to climate change

Washington Post: At the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge, the tiny bodies of Arctic tern chicks have piled up. Over the past few years, biologists have counted thousands that starved to death because the herring their parents feed them have vanished. Puffins are also having trouble feeding their chicks, which weigh less than previous broods. When the parents leave the chicks to fend for themselves, the young birds are failing to find food, and hundreds are washing up dead on the Atlantic coast. ...
Report: Climate change threatening migratory birds

Michigan Radio: Environmental groups say climate change is the biggest threat in the 21st century to migratory birds in the Great Lakes. Every year, hundreds of migratory bird species pass through the Great Lakes region. But a new National Wildlife Federation report says climate change is reducing the range that these birds need to survive the journey. The report says climate change is affecting where migratory birds can feed and raise their young. We are seeing birds starting to change their habits based on...

Britain's migratory birds stay away as climate change moves their wintering areas further north

Independent: Migratory waterbirds have shifted their wintering areas north-eastwards due to Europe's changing climate, scientists have revealed. They found a strong link between changes in the numbers of goldeneyes, tufted ducks and goosanders wintering across northern Europe and changes in temperature in early winter. In Finland and Sweden, the mid-winter numbers of these three species are more than 130,000 higher than three decades ago. Correspondingly, on the southern edge of the distribution in France,...
