In case some of you haven't read it, the US Climate
Change Research Program has its projections for the
U.S. on the web. U.S. and Canadian Models on changes
in temperature, precipitation and soil moisture can be
found at:
http://www.usgcrp.gov/usgcrp/Library/nationalassessment/overviewlooking.htm

These were first published in 2000 and updated in
2003. I know that research published last year by
either UNH or University of Vermont has more grave
predictions.
