I think everyone is missing the real point of this study, which is buried in the middle of the article:

"It's likely that speciation takes place over a longer time interval than extinction," Barnosky said. "So, climate changes like the global warming we are seeing today are probably happening too fast to cause anything but extinction."

There you have it. Global warming is a fact, and it is going to cause massive extinction. (And of course it's all George Bush's fault.)

Global warming is a natural fact.That any thing we could have done or might do to slow it is unlikely and certainly not proven.
