right, "They are in geodetic coordinate system (not projected, i.e., 'GEOGRAPHIC' or 'LATLONG' system). The datum is WGS84." -- http://www.worldclim.org/format.htm by "projected" they mean "not a grid system", they do not mean "without specific georeferencing". technically speaking lat/lon is not actually "projected" onto any plane. it is just that it has come into common language to call any SRS a projection, even when it is lat/lon. so Alex is right, just use plain old lat/lon WGS84 epsg:4326 and be happy it is not like Google Maps mercator-on-perfect-sphere.
