Hi Tom,
I don't necessarily disagree with this.
Bad science may lead to good policy while good science may lead to bad policy. Naturally, bad science can lead to bad policy and good science can lead to good policy and anything in between. We are all very bad at predicting the future.
It is just that some of the views on this topic have been, and continue to be 'over the top'.
