Basically Half of All Known Bird Species Are Grappling With Population Declines

A new estimate from researchers around the world has found 48 percent of living bird species are known or suspected to have declining populations.That's more than 5,000 species that face a risky future. Among the species surveyed, only 6 percent showed increases in population.

The recent estimates suggest similar patterns exist right across the planet, but especially in tropical, polar, and montane birds. In Costa Rica, which is famed for bird biodiversity, avian abundance has declined over the past decade. In Japan, there's a similar trend occurring among the brown shrike and the yellow-breasted bunting, which have lost huge parts of their range.

See attached. Misleading title. The wind energy potential in 2035 might be able to provide enough energy to meet modern demand, but how would we store energy for when the turbines aren't producing? The study was done by government employees who benefit from exaggerating capabilities. Very misleading and specific conditions must be met.
