If you trust Scott Adams to review scientific literature or assess scientific models, then sure, it's reasonable.
Scott Adams, a cartoonist, has given me no reason to trust his capability to review scientific literature or assess scientific models.
That's not to say that a cartoonist could never meaningfully contribute to a discussion on scientific literature or models, but with a background as a cartoonist, the bar for me to trust him on this is a lot higher than, say, climate researchers. "I've never seen..." is insufficient from him. There's probably a lot of stuff he's never seen since he's focused his career on drawing comics.
