Sure. The guys who write the studies funded by the people who want to hear how eeeeevil humanity has caused the woes of our planet...
It is the last gasp of our species' egomania, just the natural devolution from thinking the Earth was the center of the Universe, then the center of the Solar System, and now, in the ineffectual rant against the forces of nature, that somehow we can not only DO something, but that we are the cause of any problem.
To admit that we are at the mercy of nature, and yes, of God Himself, is a leap of faith they can or will not make, for it would put their egocentricities, and indeed, the foundation of their being at peril.
It used to be that the penitents just wandered the countryside engaging in self flagellation, now they feel compelled to share the experience.
