birds no moreWhile the bug population embraces the warm temperature for their reproduction needs, the sea turtles are holding on to dear life for the very same reason. The problem is, the sea turtles are not the ones having a hard time adjusting to the changing weather conditions. The birds are sending out a distress signal.

Though our tiny little crustacean friends help keep global warming in check, their efforts might not be enough to save 72% of the world's bird species from the deadly effects of unchecked climate change.

Birds' behavior has been significantly affected by global warming that even some migratory birds fail to migrate at all. It doesn't help that habitats for migratory birds have been destroyed, leaving the poor birds with no place to go. That's how bad the situation is at this point.

But there's hope yet, according to conservation group WWF. That is if climate protection targets are enforced and the level of greenhouse gas emissions are lessened. Easier said than done. Until all these are set into motion, our birds would live in constant fear of being wiped out by the evil that is global warming.

"And what do the birds say? All there is to say about a massacre, things like 'Poo-tee-weet?'."
