Attributed conclusion

Phys.org updated the public record of this item. ENC is comparing source excerpts only — not deciding which version is true. Earlier they reported: “Nearly 200 nations are gathering in Armenia on Monday for critical negotiations as governments come under pressure to salvage a landmark nature pact whose goals are slipping out of reach.” Later they reported: “Nearly 200 nations kicked off crucial U.N. biodiversity talks in Armenia on Monday as governments face pressure to salvage a landmark nature pact whose goals are slipping out of reach.” Open the original links in the timeline. The claim still belongs to the outlet.
