Even if RCMs can not provide high - resolution climate information, it doesn't imply that downscaling is impossible or that it is futile to predict local climate conditions. (realclimate.org)
In particular, many of the plant populations predicted to persist in the near future will actually do so under local climate conditions that are already unsuitable for their long - term survival because long live spans and clonal reproduction strategies of many high mountain plants allow them to retard extinction.
