It’s the Spiders, Stupid!

Recently I have been publicly presenting a talk regarding the impacts of climate change on nature and humans titled: Climate Change is Not Being Nice to Mother Nature.  In this talk I describe the impact of climate change on oceans, Arctic mammals, birds, fish, frogs, trees, lakes and ponds, and humans.  Human impacts include, among others, sea level rise, stronger hurricanes, extreme heat, increased risks to health, higher costs for recreational activities, and serious geopolitical implications including war.

However, the slides that get the most reaction are those about the northward expansion of the Brown Recluse spider.
