On occasion individual scientists can be the worst! But in the end the community corrects. The body of science is not something that is made up from opinion polls or viewpoint. It it made of of measurable, repeatable replicable facts.

Something is happening, something bad is happening, we may not know exactly why but that should be only more reason to find out and do what we can to make it better. If we wait til the 25th century, it may not come.
And that's okay too I guess because 99% of all species that every lived are now extinct.
We'll just let mother Earth start over and try again. I expect I'll be long gone in even one more century (unless of course
Ray is right).
