  Yes I am referring to such "opt-in" religious groups. It's not irrelevant because if you swap a few words around you wouldn't be able to tell this type of article from a televangelist. That's bad optics for an otherwise good movement. We should be concerned about the climate. We should do something about it. Nuclear power is nice because we don't have to kill all sorts of fauna and consume large swaths of land. We shouldn't be alarmists. We especially shouldn't be espousing apocalyptic language when it's demonstrably not apocalyptic. If you actually read the article the alarmism would rise to the exact level needed to suggest a second-coming style rapture. But instead of Christ, it's biblical floods and super hot summers...wait they're starting to sound the same. The comparison was honestly to get a rise out of people that can't see when the horseshoe ends begin to touch. It's far harder for people to take articles like this one seriously when it's filled with language that sounds more like a panicked sermon than a measured discussion on possible ways to get rid of dead dinos.
