I got hit with some rough words on this. Not going to respond directly to any of the hate.

Would like to generally respond with these comments...

The figures in the article are congruent with other presentations I've seen over the past 5-10 years. There is nothing really new here. I was frustrated because the "auto web image grab" in the original post had a bland photo of a seagull with some windmills out of focus in the background. I reposted it the way I did to highlight 👉 The #Data 👈 buried in the article.

Other than that it is the same article. I suspect the bland post did not garner the same emotional response.

This particular article is primarily focused on what is and can be done to 👉 #Mitigate👈 #birdkills due to these structures. I like that. 🙂

One person said "everything must be solar" or similar with no evidence why they feel that way. On the subject of bird kills, there's real evidence that "solar farms" also kill #birds. One of many similar articles: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960148116301422 "A preliminary assessment of avian mortality at utility-scale solar energy facilities in the United States" The bird kill rate may be similar to wind.

Re #Cats. I like cats. I've had cats as pets. I'm even allergic to cats. I do not own a cat at this time, but if I did I would seriously consider keeping it indoors most of the time. Spay, neuter, shots, etc. are also a must.

@kevinrns

It does seem that the #billionaires are completely okay with mass-scale #death of not just flora and fauna but also #humans

The language emanating from various opponents of even minor actions to #mitigate #climatechange and #adapt to it seems to be hardening

This is no longer about #countries but about classes and it is #global

Dunno how we deal with this. I write stories with #plutocrats as villains and the poor as the protagonists.
