(Washington, DC) -- The Senate Subcommittee
on Global Warming and Wildlife under the leadership of Senator
Joseph Lieberman is holding a hearing
today to review the impacts of global warming on wildlife
"Canaries were once used by coal miners
to detect deadly gases," said George Fenwick, President
of American Bird Conservancy (ABC). "Today, scientists
are already documenting negative impacts on many bird species
from global warming - a clear warning to society of the risks
it faces - and another reason we must enact solutions now."
A fact sheet, based on a report produced
by ABC and the National Wildlife Federation, details the impacts
of global warming on birds and is available at http://www.abcbirds.org/newsandreports/releases/070207_report.pdf
