UN Earth Summit Rebuttal: ‘There is no scientific basis for claims that hundreds or even thousands of species are at risk’
'Of 191 bird and mammal species recorded as having gone extinct since 1500, 95% were on islands...On continents, just six bird and three mammal species were driven to extinction...the greatest threats to species are the very policies and programs being advocated in Rio. Those policies would ban fossil fuels; greatly increase renewable energy use; reduce jobs and living standards in rich nations; and perpetuate poverty, disease, death and desperation in poor countries'
