This and the newly released IPCC summary, linked in the article above, are a must read. Some interesting and scary implications to global climate change although not all are bad. One that bears thinking about in terms of not only climatic but social change is the forecast for increased dryness in the Northern Mexico area. Will this increase the desire to come across the border from Mexico? My guess is that it will in the beginning but as the desert areas expand it will create a much larger barrier to cross than exists now. Specifically the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts could become an even harsher and dryer zone. See this Wikipedia discussion of those areas as they exist now.
