Efforts to promote and develop new forms of sustainable energy have pushed wind power to the forefront. However, this type of power comes with a cost — as it often interferes with birds’ and bats’ migration, killing hundreds of thousands of these winged species.
According to a new study from the University of
The type of agriculture practiced in a given region depends heavily on the climate and weather that region receives. So naturally, with climate change, agriculture will be forced to change.

What that world might look like should we survive could be a far cry from what we know now. I think that the mature approach is to do what we can to make the transition to sustainable energy and transportation solutions before our backs are against the wall.
