Well I agree partly with you, but even if there is an iota of truth in that report, then we should start getting concerned about its effects. Weather as a phenomenon has been studied for only 50-100 years now but through some techniques scientists are able to say that man-made pollution can have lead to problems. I think controlling pollution and going cleaner can lead to new technologies and growth directions which can result in reducing the chance of a risk. It is analogous to earthquake/tsunami prediction, we spend millions of dollars doing it but these events are so rare.
