Migratory Birds indicating the Climate is Cooling

My own notes on bird migration from my lake home is it ‘s been basically the same, since I started my journaling in 2003.
I chart songbirds and ducks/geese//Pelicans. La Niña and El Niño weathe patterns have minimum effects on their migrations.
 
Seeing that this thread is based on the OP's misunderstanding of the paper on which he sought to put forth an untenable argument, I think this thread should be closed.
LOL

Empirically observed evidence shows your religion a sham and your man made climate change total bull shit and of course you would want it silenced... cant have the truth out here for all to see...

Seems to be the standard alarmist Mantra.... Right up there with gate keeping who is to get published....

This thread is based entirely on your mistake. You thought it said migrational changes were from COOLING when they were from WARMING. So what is the point? Do you really want to further announce your ignorance?
 
Look the the posts in this thread. Progressives have taken to responding with posts that are completely removed from reality.... it's now the way they roll. Once the established narrative gets smashed, might as well go all in on total fabrication and hope the people don't check the facts. How ghey, huh :113:
 
Researchers from University of Connecticut are preparing a paper on migratory fluctuations of North American avian species (birds).

It is interesting to find out in the last five years the migratory paths of ducks and geese have become later by some 30-45 days indicating that their summer feeding grounds (north) are not producing foods as long as they once used to do.

This year they found that medium weight birds remained in their winter feeding grounds an extra 50+ days before heading north. They also found that light weight birds (humming birds and other light weight fair weather birds) are still in their winter feeding grounds even today when just 20 years ago they were as far north as Montana by this time of the year.

Empirical Evidence is showing a climatic shift and it isn't a warming one.

New research shows climate change is altering the delicate seasonal clock that North American migratory songbirds rely on to successfully mate and raise healthy offspring, setting in motion a domino effect that could threaten the survival of many familiar backyard bird species.

A growing shift in the onset of spring has left nine of 48 species of songbirds studied unable to reach their northern breeding grounds at the calendar marks critical for producing the next generation of fledglings, according to a paper published today in Nature Scientific Reports.


Migratory birds arriving late to breeding grounds
Did you read the article in full?

Your title is INCORRECT!!!!
 
I'm laughing....note the subtle "warming" reference by the AGW bozos. They even highlight it in red. Take a closer look and look at the graphs thus the operational definition of "warming" and try not to split your side's laughing.:2up::spinner::spinner::spinner:

Then remember that the esteemed IPCC itself proclaimed in 1992 that models cannot be used to predict the future climate = more laughing.

Use of vague semantics is ghey.... fakery at its finest:highfive:
 
Well, the resident idiot that likes to pull shit out of his ass, pulls a real blooper, his own article totally contradicts what he claims, and the other resident idiots chime in to double down on the idiocy.

Climate change, increasing temperatures alter bird migration patterns

Birds in eastern North America are picking up the pace along their yearly migratory paths. The reason, according to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers, is rising temperatures due to climate change.

Using migration information collected in eBird, a citizen science program database containing 10 years' worth of observations from amateur birdwatchers, assistant professor of biology Allen Hurlbert, Ph.D., and his team in the UNC College of Arts and Sciences analyzed when 18 different species of birds arrived at various points across their migration journeys. Since 2002, eBird has collected more than 48 million bird observations from roughly 35,000 contributors.

The study results were published in the journal PLoS ONE on Feb. 22.

Pushing migration earlier in the year could negatively affect birds over the long term, Hurlbert said.

"Timing of bird migration is something critical for the overall health of bird species," he said. "They have to time it right so they can balance arriving on breeding grounds after there's no longer a risk of severe winter conditions. If they get it wrong, they may die or may not produce as many young. A change in migration could begin to contribute to population decline, putting many species at risk for extinction."
 
As the planet warms, scientists are seeing evidence of earlier springs and later autumns all over the world. Snow is melting sooner, plants are flowering earlier—and now, researchers find that birds are changing their migration patterns, too.

A new study, just out this week in the journal The Condor: Ornithological Applications, is the latest in a growing body of research that suggests our feathered friends may change their behavior in response to the climate. It finds that some Pacific Coast species are migrating earlier in the spring and later in the fall than they used to. And these changes appear to be linked to warmer, wetter climate conditions.

The researchers analyzed 22 years of data on birds captured and banded at a migratory stopover point in Northern California. They focused on five different species: the Pacific-slope flycatcher, orange-crowned warbler and Wilson's warbler—all of which have short migrations up and down the coast—and the Swainson's thrush and yellow warbler, which have longer migrations between North and South America.

Songbirds Shift Migration Patterns to Sync with Warming

LOL Want more?

Lol here....conveniently ignored by the alarmist contingent is a definition of "warming". The term "warming" is thrown around by the alarmist well....to alarm. A fact not missed by the "resident idiots".:hello77:

The curious should take a close look at the true definition of "warming" as defined by actual temperature! When you do, try not to split your sides laughing:bye1::bye1::auiqs.jpg:

Using loose semantics to throw bombs is ghey..... and not working at all by the way:cul2:

PS..... and duh.... nobody knows dick as to why the birds are migrating! What is it about progressives that they never heard the whole opinions are like assholes phrase. What is up with that?

Those birds are obvious racist, science and climate deniers!
 
You missed the thread's denouement. The OP misread the article with which he started this thread. The problems with migratory patterns are due to warming, not cooling. Read back a bit. Quite a hoot.

Sure did and the Paper to which it refers as well...

Only you left wing fools would ignore the empirical evidence in the paper to conclude it was 'warming' that is the issue..

That's the problem with left wing fools like you and Crick, you refuse to read the paper and verify the empirical evidence... ie; the paper states the breeding grounds are too cold to support the foliage and wild life (bugs) that the birds feed on... but you come to a conclusion that its too warm.... WRONG!
 
Don’t Tell Anyone, But We Just Had Two Years Of Record-Breaking Global Cooling

Writing in Real Clear Markets, Aaron Brown looked at the official NASA global temperature data and noticed something surprising. From February 2016 to February 2018, “global average temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Celsius.” That, he notes, is the biggest two-year drop in the past century.

“The 2016-2018 Big Chill,” he writes,“was composed of two Little Chills, the biggest five month drop ever (February to June 2016) and the fourth biggest (February to June 2017). A similar event from February to June 2018 would bring global average temperatures below the 1980s average.



Got to love it...
 
Here is the data at the link provided by Mr Brown. Tell me where you see two years of cooling from 2016 to 2018.

Mr Brown claims that global temperatures dropped 0.56C; more than one division on vertical axis of the graph above. Anyone see that? Anyone?
 
Here is the current GISS chart WITHOUT the misleading 5 year smoothing, it a MONTHLY chart only:

Brown is wrong because there have been larger cooling drops in the past:

1998 4 0.74
2000 1 -0.27
Drop (21) -1.01

2016 2 0.83
2017 6 0.21
Drop (16) -0.62
 
Brown is wrong. So are you. Climate is not determined in a single month. And seeing temperautre drops after major el Ninos is hardly a refutation of AGW.

Gawad!

Never said a single month determines climate patterns, neither did I say this refutes AGW either.

Your Red Herring bullcrap is making you look stupid!

I read of rumors that you have a science education, but a gross inability to show it well as clearly shown here......................

All I did was dispute Brown's claim nothing more.
