And this results in the birds aging faster and they die younger. And as I said earlier, fewer offspring are produced. And the results of this, I suggest that there's also some mechanism likely that extends into other animal species, particularly when they're young, even mammals. So there seems to be some correlation there, not just from birds but to people. Turtles, for instance. Their eggs are very dependent on the heat as to what sex is born. We're around 27.7, let's say 28 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, it maintains that males are born. Higher than that, 31 degrees Celsius, females are born. There are higher and higher temperatures now where it's more conducive for the female turtles to hatch. And there's not enough male turtles hatching. Well, then that's indicative that, eventually, the turtles are going to face a crisis in population. So you can see how it affects them there. And there's other birds too. There's other birds too that their eggs require a specific temperature to hatch. As temperatures are going up, these birds can adapt. They're worried about extinction events happening.
