Artists, journaists, fashion designers on a yacht looking at plankton don't necessarily give out the right type of signals that the global warming end-time might be at hand.

That's exactly what jumped out at me.

“the knowledge gap between the scientific community and the public” So what would that be? The public are starting to realise they have been had and excursions like this one, over three years, with no prior base, tells absolutely nothing, regardless of the claims that will no doubt come from it.
