To what possible end? I'm not denying climate change and deforestation are huge issues for birds too, but I've lived with a lot of cats in my life. My friends have had outdoor cats. I know how much they kill even when its not their primary source of food. You also seem to be downplaying the impact of any invasive species not on an island, or misunderstanding why the risk is so high on an island. It's not simply a lack of room for escape but also small populations of animals. Which can obviously accelerate how fast extinction occurs. That doesn't mean that invasive species are not also a major problem on continents though, merely that it takes a longer time for ecological disruption to play out.

This study cites the 2013 study in addition to several other studies done since. It's not just a single study that documented this, nor a single region of the world. I also don't understand why you refer to me as "you people" as though I am even attempting to argue your original point. I'm not, I know and agree that climate change is especially in the long term the most serious issue for biodiversity. I'm only commenting to add that there are other human caused factors also decimating wildlife populations.
