That isn't true. millions of times more birds and bats have been killed over the last 100 years with coal and oil impacts to our environment. You can't just make up stuff. By substituting for wood, its likely fossil fuels have preserved a lot of woodland habitat for birds and bats. North American forests have been increasing over the past century, especially in the east, and that wouldn't have been happening if the nation was still made up of massive numbers of small farms dependent on their wood lots for heating and their pastures for grazing their livestock. I know the area I grew up in IL was filled with 40 acre farms each with a family on it with their own horses, cows, pigs and woodstove from the time of the ICRR construction down to the 1920's and 1930's. Now the same area is more than half forest.
