A Quick Chat with a Climate [Scam Kool-Aid Drinker]
[computer scientist Tim Lambert of Deltoid] Yes, there are lots of articles wrongly saying that global warming isn't happening, or that we're not causing it, or that it won't harm marine life. The reason is that if you accept the science and value marine life then you have to reduce carbon emissions. And people don't want to do this, so they attack the science instead.
Although it's not actually warming, human Co2 emissions allegedly cause warming, which allegedly causes late summer dryness, which allegedly kills cranefly larvae, which allegedly causes golden plover chicks to die
Warm summers are dramatically reducing populations of daddy long legs, which is in turn is having a severe impact on birds that rely on them for food, scientists have shown.

This key finding comes from a new study by RSPB Scotland scientists whose research shows how increasing late summer temperatures dry out peatland soils, killing cranefly larvae, resulting in a drop of up to 95 per cent in numbers of adult craneflies emerging the following spring. The resulting scarcity of craneflies for a wide range of upland birds like golden plover, means starvation and death for many chicks.
