This Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017 photo provided by Darlene Burgess shows monarch butterflies at Point Pelee National Park in Canada. A large population of already vulnerable monarch butterflies are stuck in Canada and in the Northeast. They are late on their migration south _ they should be in Texas at this time _ because unusually warm weather delayed their flight and now winds and other factors aren't making it easy or maybe even possible to go south before the coming frost.

FILE - In this Thursday, June 1, 2017 file photo, President Donald Trump speaks about the U.S. role in the Paris climate change accord in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. A new Associated Press-NORC poll finds that Americans want local officials to do more to battle global warming now that federal officials aren’t. The poll finds more Americans than not disagree with Trump’s pulling the United States of Paris treaty to fight climate change. So 57 percent of those surveyed said they want local governments to pick up the slack in keeping the world from warming too much. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)
