Current models used to predict the survival of species in a warming world might be off target, according to new research that enlisted the help of dozens of spiny lizards in the New Mexico desert. Almost 40 percent of the world's populations of lizards are expected to become extinct by 2080, because the earth is warming faster than these populations can adapt.
