University of Washington scientists found that climate change is generating marine heat waves that are killing off millions of seabirds from California to Alaska.
The loss of sea ice is making the Arctic more accessible than ever, thus increasing the probability of major oil spills as ship and tanker traffic multiplies.
I stepped onto the battlefield of climate change, sidestepping carcass after carcass. In the grass were the remains of Arctic terns, common terns, and roseate terns.
The warming of the planet is taking a deadly toll on seabirds that are suffering population declines from starvation, inability to reproduce, heat waves and extreme weather.
