I just returned from a 7,500 mile trip to witness the the greatest insect infestation anywhere in recorded history. This is an ongoing project of mine, and will be my third film drawing public attention to this extreme climate change impact. My Scientific Basis for this years film is here: http://www.meltonengineering.com/North%20America%27s%20Mountain%20Pine%20Beetle%20Pandemic%20February%202011color.pdf

Remember, average global warming over land is double the global average because of the cooling influence of our oceans and ice sheets, or 3.56 degrees C in December (6.4 F). and the average over the arctic is four times the global average or 7.12 C (12.8 F). Importantly, the increase in extreme temperature is far greater than the average, and extreme weather increases nonlinearly because of the basics of heat and energy physics, where a little warming does not create a little more extremeness in the weather, it creates a lot more.
