It’s all about timing.. Rio+20 media propaganda filler

—snip—

2 years of research

Barnosky, who tracks longtime changes in the fossil record, and 22 other scientists spent two years in conferences and research to produce their review. It is timed for a U.N. conference on sustainable development - known as the Rio+20 Conference - that is scheduled for Rio de Janeiro from June 22 to 24. The conference will mark 20 years since the first “Earth Summit” at Rio, involving delegates from 172 governments, produced the first international conventions on climate change and biodiversity.

Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?

If that is the case, then he knows fully well that the earth always undergoes climate transitions, and is well aware that the change in species that inhabit the earth always accompanies those transitions. I'll have to look at the Nature report if I can, and see if it has the same alarmist language as this article, because that language just isn't warranted.
