2013 Disrupt (Psuedo)Scientific American: Climate Change "May" Disrupt Monarch Butterfly Migration The butterflies rely on the thaw of spring to tell them when to begin the long journey back north but global warming may disrupt the timing By Nayantara Narayanan, ClimateWire on February 22, 2013 Reprinted from Climatewire with permission from Environment & Energy Publishing, LLC. www.eenews.net, 202-628-6500 How much were they paid to run that fake news one wonders. 2013 Doom (Psuedo)Scientific American: Climate Change, Herbicide May Doom Monarch Butterfly Migration The number of monarch butterflies reaching sanctuaries in Mexico has been declining thanks to climate change and loss of its weedy food By Ines Perez, ClimateWire on March 27, 2013 Reprinted from Climatewire with permission from Environment & Energy Publishing, LLC. www.eenews.net, 202-628-6500 How much were they paid to run that fake news one wonders. 2015 Extinct "in danger to get extinct in the near future."[sic] "Climate changes have led to changes in the weather that make more occurrences of climatic extremes of heat and cold more often than ever before. These rapid changes are negatively affecting the earth's biosphere. Several populations of vegetation and animals have suffered the effects. This is a consequence of global warming." "Dr. Oliver cited, in order to limit these losses, reduction of CO2 emissions and habitat restoration could have their role. He added that a combination of both is the best approach. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, these butterflies could get stopped from extinction. This is not an impossible task the efforts are already underway." In reality butterflies evolved when CO2 was 7000ppm. It's less than 500 now. 2016 Monarchs CBC - They're baaaaack Monarch butterflies make big comeback Monarchs cover 4 hectares in Mexico wintering grounds this year, up from 0.67 hectares in 2013 The Associated Press Posted: Mar 01, 2016 2:17 PM ET

2016 More Monarch Butterfly Population More Than Triples Over Last Year "It’s impossible to actually count all the individual butterflies, but because they huddle so closely together, scientists and conservationists add up all the land area the monarchs cover. This winter it came to 10 acres of butterflies — up from a record low of 1.66 acres just two years earlier." 2018 Extra Monarch butterflies reach highest levels of past 25 years State researchers say the Monarch butterfly population is at its fourth highest level since 1993 as migration peaks in Illinois. 2019 Record Historic Numbers of Monarchs Seek Shelter at Roost Sites in the Lake Erie Region Republished with permission of the Southern Lepidopterists Society Historic Numbers of Monarchs Seek Shelter at Roost Sites in the Lake Erie Region by Candy Sarikonda The monarch fallout which occurred during the weekend of September 7-10, 2018 was truly of historic proportion. Thousands of monarchs were reported roosting at numerous sites from Toronto to Chicago, with countless monarchs sheltering from a powerful storm at roost sites in the Lake Erie islands and along Ohio’s Lake Erie shoreline. This once-in-a-lifetime event triggered by remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon sent monarch enthusiasts squealing with delight on social media. The Nor’easter swept through the Lake Erie region during peak fall migration for the monarchs, and sent the monarchs dropping from the sky to seek shelter from the powerful winds and rain that swept through the region...
