In extremist times, every sound and moderate view falls flat, it's a fact.
Unfortunately, such sound and obviously documented opinions give way more fuel to the un-educated "let's keep on like that till the earth rumbles down" crowd and by extrapolating from these science news, the "polluters" - generic name because that's too vast to cover- will find a legal, scientific, sound and reasonnable excuse to do nothing... and it's a nice way to shoot ourselves in our own foot.
So, scientifically speaking, he's probably right. Humanely speeking, psychologically speaking, he's a dwarf.
Sometimes, you have to choose side.

He's on the side of science, and doesn't agree with climate change supporters who don't follow scientific methods. Neither do I.
