My personal opinion changed to "let's not panic yet" once i had a look at the history of predictions made by this field in the past. This field has been making apocalyptical predictions "coming in the next ten years" continuosly for more than 70 years now, and so far nothing has been verified. To be honest, i'm talking about media coverage trying to alarm the population (as well as public speakers). It's very likely real scientist working in the fields are much more careful than media, as it is pretty much always the case.
