Yes, but beware... remember that scientists have been warning about this for years! That makes them the most likely suspect. They benefit by writing papers that say "I told you so". It's most efficient to blame the messenger.
This might sound far fetched, but when the Galapagos Sea Cucumbers were massively overfished and collapsed more than a decade ago, the local fishermen did blame the scientists (at Darwin Station) and it ultimately led to armed threats (against the scientists initially, but eventually on Lonesome George since he was a bigger celebrity).
