They're predictions. How do you want them to be framed?

Anyway, if you prefer more certain terms, just click through to the Audobon study[0]: "The results are clear: Birds will be forced to relocate to find favorable homes"; "By stabilizing carbon emissions and holding warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, 76 percent of vulnerable species will be better off, and nearly 150 species would no longer be vulnerable to extinction from climate change."

My comment/retort would be that there is no shortage of 'may' predictive articles arguing just about anything you can think of. It would be easy to find a counter 'may' article arguing the opposite of this one, but who has time for that...

Is the hypothetical contradictory article that you assume exists, but can't be bothered to find, also backed by an extensive report from a well-regarded environmental science group?
