"The findings of the new report, published in the journal Climactic Change, can be extrapolated well beyond Californias boundaries, to Plains states like Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, where cattle are a bigger slice of the agricultural economy, Dr. Pendleton said."
It's very strange. I don't know precisely what journal they are referring to, but poking around, I suspect that the journal is actually called "Climatic Change." Still, if this is a misused term, the misuse extends surprisingly far past Nadin and random message board postings.
I have provided an explanation as to how I could see the term being a correct and intentional usage; as I said, I am not remotely an expert on the topic, and so I don't know if this is intentional usage or unintentional misuse.
