Well, it's not necessary to worry about SUVs for global warming because that cause is lost but using excessive gasoline will contribute to its increased cost and shortage.

It is so warm that robins no longer find it necessary to fly south in winter.

"In Washington state, where apple and grape crops provide a bounty of winter food, robin flocks as large as 250,000 birds have been spotted. One observer said the sound of those flocks passing overhead was like "four or five big jet engines in need of lubrication."

Large increases in robin numbers were reported in the Northeast, too. Why the robin explosion?

Bird migration experts theorize that ever-warmer weather has persuaded the robins there is no need to fly south for the winter. Adding credence to that theory is the fact that Southern states like Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi reported significant drops in robin populations.

It just may be that the common robin is the canary-in-the-coal-mine when it comes to waking us up to the global-warming crisis."
