Some enterprising "journalist" could with a little research find an equal number of chicken little 'scientists' and those who think like Prof. Bryson.
I’n not sure I understand what you’re trying to say. Is it that Bryson has his head in the sand?
I meant that to depict the "chicken little" scientists(?) and their teenage groupies, et al who need a 'cause' to raise funds for thier dumbass projects and the no-work jobs that go with them.
