The problem is that the media will gobble up these utterly worthless statements and print them to get page views, and uninformed and uneducated celebrities will abuse that avarice-in-place-of-journalism to further their own pet issues (which they nearly universally fail to comprehend beyond the most superficial level).

A lot of people would have the same reaction to someone like David Suzuki, and or any other person who brings up any negativity towards the oilsands. So basically anyone who has an opposing viewpoint is "uninformed" and unqualified to give an opinion.
