Instructions: Use the climate change prediction maps provided to fill columns 4 and 5. Add the amount of change (keep track of +/- signs) to the present-day values given in columns 1 and 2 to determine the climate in 2100 AD (columns 6 and 7). Finally, consult the Whittaker diagram to predict the future biome from the predicted climate (column 8). The first one is done for you.
