While I think the evidence of man-made climate change is 100% irrefutable we need to be careful and not attribute every event to climate change. That's how you lose credibility. Even if you're right, people get sick of hearing it at a certain point. That matters.
Consider [1]:
> One of the most surprising findings was that the shifts from cold stadials to the warm interstadial intervals occurred in a matter of decades, with air temperatures over Greenland rapidly warming 8 to 15°C (Huber et al. 2006)
I guarantee you these sudden warmings also caused problems for many species.
Bad years will happen for breeding. This is particularly a problem for species who all breed in one place. One failed season almost certainly isn't the end or the species already wouldn't exist. Also, species will inevitably go extinct (as 99% of the species we've ever had have).
