(a) current distribution of Sasquatch (b) Sasquatch distribution post-climate change
For those of you dallying around about how seriously to take the threat of climate change, here's something for you. If we don't cease our emissions of greenhouse gases pronto, Bigfoot will invade Arizona and Utah. I'm serious.

At least, according to one of our local crazy people, they are. She says that the bigfoot are communicating with her by leaving "stick signs" in the woods. And by making complicated braids in her horses' manes.
