I'm just gonna add a tidbit that I've heard to be true... One small volcanic eruption releases more emissions than humankind has ever created. I
don't think we have as much of an impact as we believe. Not saying we don't contribute, but as for causing global warming with our emissions, I
think maybe we overestimate our impact.
I would actually think that our habit of deforestation probably causes more of an issue than our pollution output.

There were som reports a couple of years ago about seaguls here in norway nesting in trees. They nest on ground, or on rooftops or under bridges and
just about everywhere else, but they have never nested in trees before. As I said this was a couple of yeas ago, and I remember my dad remarking how
strange it was and wondering what the reason might be. I really don't know though...

It's probably because they're used to nesting on the side of cliffs and small openings theirin. But don't ask me, I know nothing of birds except
that they're delicious.

Look at this
 The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is investigating a large number of fish found washed up on a Gippsland beach in Victoria's south-east.
The australian salmon were found on the 90 Mile Beach near Loch Sport, and it is believed they came from a fishing boat that ran aground last Sunday.
Dieter Meltzer from the EPA says the authority has decided to leave the fish to be eaten by seabirds. "Probably more impact, more damage done to the
coastal dunes by trying to access the site in vehicles and so it was decided that we'll let nature take its course," he said.
Unless all the birds die 
Weird stuff my friends. I think they're saying it's a fishing boat in order to calm the population.

what the hell is going on here. thousands of birds die, climate changes all over the world. migratory patterns of birds change. earthquakes, holes in
the atmosphere killing plants in the ocean, sunammees, el nino, floods, huge ice bergs breaking off and moving in the oceans, sun spots, diseases,
commets, crime is on the rise, iran is going nuts. the earth must be throwing a MENTAL is right. this is nuts and i beleive it will get worse. signs
of the end times.

I just noticed here in SW Ohio a flock of ducks heading north today. First time I saw it this year and we just had a winter storm yesterday that
dropped 3" snow and the temps have been near freezing.
I think all this migration has nothing to do with temperatures and everything to do with the earth magnetic field.

Another new case of mysterious bird deaths:

Forty-nine birds died under mysterious circumstances over the past ten days on roofs, yards and streets in Ho Chi Minh City, but tests proved the
birds were H5N1 negative.
Go Vap, Binh Thanh and Phu Nhuan districts in the city’s northwest were the scene of the mass of avian victims.

It has been a long while since I've updated this thread...
The news has not improved.

Common Birds in Decline – Summer 2007
Audubon’s unprecedented analyses of forty years of bird population data from Christmas Bird Count and Breeding Bird Survey reveals alarming declines
for many of our most common and beloved birds. Since 1967 the average population for the common birds in steepest decline has fallen 68 percent,
from 17.6 million to 5.35 million. Some species have nose-dived as much as 80 percent and all 20 birds included in the Common Birds in Decline report
have lost at least 50 percent of their population - in just four decades.
