Why lash out against the author? He’s just stating an opinion, but from the title to the first sentence to the end, I can’t see a single untruth. What’s your beef?
Perhaps the thing “we” will disagree on is the nature an extent of the damage that’s being done, and whether this will lead to “death by 1000 paper cuts” or one unforseen event will serve as the “tipping point” which will dramatically change the course of history - no one knows.
But it will happen, and that is the authors point.
