[Leps-l] Potential loss of monarch overwintering habitat in Mexico

[Chuck Vaughn]

Lots of pretty pictures but no text to explain the presentation.

I assume the slides showing predicted temperature increase and rainfall decrease out to 2090 are based on various climate models that appear on a graph later in the presentation. Since no climate model has been able to predict the present from the past I see no reason to believe any prediction made about 2090 using them.
