From the Telegraph:
Yearly we get this foolish story, generated by grant-funded, local weather alarmist scientists, and each time the gullible reporters fail to verify the precise details.
Notice, in fact, that it’s all the time “COULD” and “MAY”!
Atlantic puffins in Europe vary from the far Arctic north right down to Northern France.
In Britain, puffins are thriving off the Pembrokeshire coast, on Skomer and Skokholm Islands. On the previous puffin numbers have shot up within the final decade.
And final yr ITV reported that populations on each islands have been the best because the Nineteen Forties, when there was a steep decline:
This April, Wales On-line reported that this yr’s Skomer Island rely had discovered 38896 puffins.
There isn’t a proof in any way that local weather change has had any impact in any respect on puffins.
What we most actually do know is industrial fishing, notably within the North Sea, is affecting them:
New analysis led by the BTO exhibits that the UK’s internationally vital seabird populations are being affected by fishing actions within the North Sea. Ranges of seabird breeding failure have been larger in years when a better proportion of the North Sea’s sandeels, vital prey for seabirds, was commercially fished.
However as positive as clockwork, the identical dopey reporters might be publishing the identical faux information subsequent yr.
