...Climate envelope approaches are able to predict shifts in climate space in both leading and trailing edges (e.g. Thomas et al. 2004), but are unable to predict species persistence when the trailing edge shifts away from its present location (Akçakaya et al. 2006)....

...Shifts in the distributions of species with climate change have now been documented for many species (Warren et al. 2001; Hickling et al. 2005; Root et al. 2005; Parmesan 2006; Rosenzweig et al. 2008) and many more are expected to shift with future climate change (Thomas et al. 2004)....

...That we use the same climate and species data that other high-profile studies have used (3, 4, 26) and find that most climate models are no better than chance associations is of considerable concern....
[...]
...Because reported goodness-of-fit scores are often high, it is widely accepted that climate does determine many species distributions, suggesting climate envelope-based predictions of future distribution should be robust (4, 8, 19)....
[...]
...Predicting how individual species respond to climate change allows assessment of extinction risk and spatial planning of conservation activity (3, 4)....
