Climate Adaptation Difficult for Europe's Birds

Science Daily....

Quote:ScienceDaily (Jan. 16, 2012) — For the past 20 years, the climate in Europe has been getting warmer. Species of bird and butterfly which thrive in cool temperatures therefore need to move further north. However, they have difficulty adapting to the warmer climate quickly enough, as shown by new research published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Yes I am thinking this is so.

I am also of the opinion that this has happened before and is part of the whole climate change/ evolution thing.

I am certain they will adapt.

yeah I'm sure some of them will adapt, and I wouldn't be surprise that in a long run many will die out as well. Evolution is fascinating, powerful, yet cruel as well...
