> Lots of ways, some which can be objectively measured as "already changed" at the present

Speaking of objective measurements, for our area the temperatures are very close to the historical average

ITEM	 Historical Average 	         2013

Avg Max Temperature	58.4	        58.9
Avg Min Temperature	39.4 	38.4
Avg Temperature		48.9	        48.7
Total Precipitation	       34.87	34.1

I am in the camp that says that adaptable species such as people, honey bees, coyotes, etc. will adapt to climate changes. There will be specific examples where isolated populations may be radically affected (coasts, arctic regions, etc.) but the effect overall will not be catastrophic. Weather and climate have always changed, most species have always adapted. Those that didn't adapt, went extinct.
