>>Putting a report together to accurately portray what is likely to be th range of each species upon an increase in global temperatures is something that will take both time and money. There has already been a paper published questioning the authors methods and conclusions, indicating that the scientific methods used were grossly inaccurate and simplistic.

With all due respect, Dr. Booth, the academic/scientific community is not blameless here. Scientists , above all others, should have quickly, aggressively and publicly attacked/rebutted such blatant garbage as the USGS range map study. It's a credibility issue, if nothing else. If we can't tell the difference between politicians and scientists anymore, God help us.
Thanks,
