Most of the observations of the organisms indicate that the changes the expected adaptations to a warming regime

And all of these expectations were published where before the studies were actually done? And don't tell me to go look it up myself. You people are trying to sell the world on a huge bill of goods. The burden of proof is on you.

That's such a weird question I don't know how to answer it. Look, here's an example. Posit a warming climate. Prediction: flowering trees will bloom earlier in a warming climate. Go check the studies. Voila! 9 out of 10 studies of flowering tree bloom timing show earlier blooming. The change is in the expected direction in a warming scenario.

Now, I don't know if I can find an explicitly published prediction that such observations would be made; I expect that I could with unlimited resources and time. I have neither. Instead, review the following to help augment your understanding.

Indicators of Climate Change in the Northeast [US] - 2005 (PDF)

If you do nothing else, look at the summary on page 34.

I doubt if you could. Ecosystems are so complex that there are an infinite number of rationalizations that you could make to attribute warming to the observed changes.

Hell, you could even make predictions in advance just like Jeane Dixon did. With enough people making enough predictions some of them will eventually hit pay dirt. You have plenty of media support to broadcast the winners and ignore the losers.

When you’re ready to return to a discussion of subjects with substance, rather than speculations, alert me.
