It's a meme at this point for successful physicists to go crazy at a certain advanced age and rant on fields they dont know much about. Eg. Linus Pauling and vitamin C, Roger Penrose and consciousness, this.

John Clauser fell down that rabbit hole and is now being touted as "Nobel Prize winner proves climate change wrong!!" when he's a lot more "Old man shakes fist at clouds" (and clearly hasn't read the material he's slamming).
