I find your Clutter project interesting. Any chance of a code release soon? I'd be interested in testing and perhaps contributing some development time.
Actually, the better safe then sorry approach has a serious drawback - there are only finite resources. Money is the obvious, but perhaps just as important, there are only so may enviromental scientists. If we focus too tightly on something that might be a problem, and it isn't one, we will certainly miss a real problem. Operations research has something to say on this subject, i.e. when you know enough to take action, and when you need to focus on gathering more information.
