"It is with deep regret that we publish this report. We do not take this responsibility lightly, as the consequences of the following observations are of such great import and have such far-reaching ramifications for the entire planet. Truly, the fate of the oceans of the world hangs in the balance, as does the future of humankind."

This is the type of comment we had from Matt Simmons...seems quite over the top to me, I think he also said we would have an under-ground explosion that would destroy florida and cause evacuation of 20 million people....way out of line for concern about a hole in the ground.

My guess is that he acted on this thinking, and exposed himself far too much in anticipation of a negative outcome.
