What the paper itself peripherally mentions is the effect these Arctic changes will have on migratory Scolopacids – it would be interesting to speculate what the disappearance of Godwits spp. for example will have on the estuarine food chains of the African, American and Australian coasts – these buggers munch through a lot of benthic vego inverts in the course of refueling for the trip north.
Personally being of Celt peasant stock I only trust my betters like Lord Monckton on these subject areas.
