And some may be maneaters!: Climate Change May Wake Up ‘Sleeper’ Weeds | Science News
In an address given April 15 in Perth to the Greenhouse 09 conference on climate change, CSIRO researcher, Dr John Scott, said, however, that those cost estimates were only based on the damage caused by weeds known to be active in Australia.

“Out there, throughout the nation, are many weed species lying low but with the potential to take off and add to the economic and social burden of weed control,” Dr Scott said.

“One critical unknown is what these lurking weeds will do under climate change. Will their distributions change? Will they spread north or south, east or west, and will these movements change them into full-blown pest species?”

Your comment on the Global Warming video getting just 1233 views (and 3 comments) in 9 months is a bit misleading since it's a copy of this video, that got almost 150000 views (and over 650 comments) in 2 years : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3pujlkSTqo
