There is a correct way to get a message out. This is not it. And as someone who wants to see our government get it's head out of its collective rear regarding climate change, I'm appalled at what Suzuki is saying here.

I agree.
Suzuki isn't "the authority on climate change", but he's clearly the most prominent voice in Canada. He shouldn't be grandstanding or making outlandish statement like this.
It does nothing, as evidenced already in this thread, but give ammunition to his detractors and obscures the ultimate and rather more important message.
One interesting thing is that the whole argument has gone from "it's not happening" to "it's not happening because of us" or even "it's too late now". The denial period seems to be half-over.
