Climate change played a role in the deaths of thousands of puffins in Alaska, according to a study.

The birds feed on fish and marine invertebrates, which in turn feed on ocean plankton.

Scientists fear that unusually warm waters can shift the ocean food web, spelling trouble for marine life, including puffins.More than 350 bodies of seabirds were found on beaches on Saint Paul Island between October 2016 to January 2017.PuffinsTwo species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean, while the Atlantic puffin is found in the North Atlantic Ocean

The Atlantic puffin is classed as vulnerable to extinction, due to a number of threats, including hunting, pollution and climate change The tufted puffin, with its distinctive red bill and whitish tufts, spends the winter at sea, and nests during spring and summer in coastal colonies from California north to Alaska.Most were adults in the process of losing their feathers, which is a known source of stress.

And a reduction in food before the moult may have prevented many birds from surviving, the researchers suggest.

Are you sure its not Brexit, or is that the Backup excuse?

No such thing

The climate changes - it's done so for billions of years. Species die or thrive. That's the way it is...better get used to it.

Opinion: Banning cotton buds? Michael Gove, stop trying to make us feel guilty and take real action on climate change insteadAs environment secretary, Gove has overseen both the further extraction of shale gas in fracking sites and the expansion of a new runway at Heathrow, which will emit the same quantity of carbon every year as the whole of the Kenyan economy Just because a Scandinavian teenager says we're all soon to die, doesn't mean it's true. Plastic pollution is far more of an immediate danger to any kind of 'environment crisis' than the Earth melting in 12 years. Hence the ban. Get a grip. Can we not just ban Michael Gove Electric car subsidies to both firms manufacturing and those buying... we could lead the way in this market yet the government is dragging its feet as usual... this country is going backward fast with these numbingly thick politicians 'at the wheel'... can't we sack them all
