Here's a bush that got it right on global warming

... but don't tell George or the GOP.

Seems that 1700 species can't be wrong - just not suffraged enough.

Fingerprints of global warming on wild animals and plants

A globally coherent fingerprint of climate change impacts across natural systems

[Administrator]

Four types of change in species' traits due to warming may be possible. First, the density of species may change at given locations, and the ranges of species may shift either poleward or up in elevation as species move to occupy areas within their metabolic temperature tolerances. Second, because many natural history traits of species are triggered by temperature-related cues, changes could occur in the timing of events (phenology), such as migration, flowering or egg laying. Third, changes in morphology, such as body size, and behaviour may occur. Fourth, genetic frequencies may shift.
