Yep now your catching on .
( Fossil fuels kill millions of birds annually in the U.S. alone, with estimates varying but often placing coal power plants responsible for
around 14.5 to 24 million bird deaths per year, significantly more than wind turbines, due to direct collisions, habitat destruction, and pollution-induced acid rain and mercury contamination. While wind turbines cause hundreds of thousands of deaths, fossil fuel impacts, including mining and pollution, make them far more lethal on a per-energy-unit basis. )
(Oil kills hundreds of thousands to over a million birds annually, primarily through
oil pits in the U.S. (500,000-1 million/year) and from
spills/discharges, with major events like the Deepwater Horizon spill killing over a million birds, though numbers are often underestimated due to decomposition and search difficulties. Oil harms birds by coating feathers, destroying insulation, causing hypothermia, poisoning when ingested during preening, and disrupting feeding, making it a significant threat alongside cats and buildings. )
( gas operations kill hundreds of thousands to over a million birds annually in the U.S. primarily through oil field waste pits, but power plants using gas also contribute significantly to overall fossil fuel-related avian deaths, alongside other human causes like buildings and cats. Specific events, like flare incidents, cause massive localized deaths, but the ongoing threat from oil/gas infrastructure (especially pits) is a huge, often underestimated, source, with estimates of 500,000 to 1 million bird deaths yearly in oil fields alone )
( Coal kills a large number of birds, with estimates suggesting
millions annually through habitat destruction (mining), pollution (acid rain, mercury), climate change impacts, and power plant operations, with figures around 8 million per year cited by some analyses, though specific numbers vary widely depending on the study's scope. While wind turbines get attention, coal's overall impact, considering the entire lifecycle (extraction, pollution, climate), far surpasses it. )
He’s concerned about birds so why didn’t he actually bring up what kills them the most ? Nothing he ever says usually does fits his narrative . Climate change is a direct threat to animals in general but being the scumbag non humanitarian he is we know he won’t dare bring that up and why not just bring up the leading causes for birds dying here …
Comparison to Other Causes
Cats: Domestic cats are the leading cause, killing billions annually.
- Buildings: Window strikes kill hundreds of millions.
- Vehicles: Cars cause tens of millions of deaths.
- Power Lines: Transmission lines kill millions.
