Fig. 2. Global climate models scaled to the Kenai predict warmer summers throughout this century. The models predict that post-2030 mean summer temperatures will always be above the threshold for large spruce bark beetle outbreaks, if there are any trees available.  Observed temperatures are from the Homer airport since 1932. Climate models are Germany (green), Canada (red) and USA (black). Lower graph shows annual beetle-kill for southern Kenai since aerial surveys began in 1971 (US Forest Service). -Graphic by Ed Berg
