I think a lot of people believe the science in this article to be problematic. Another poster went into several reasons. It's heavy on persuasive language, shy of facts, and many of the facts are suspect, and it hasn't been accepted by any publications so it hasn't gotten any peer review. It's possible it hasn't gotten any publication because the apparently quality is so low.

It might be that people see your comment as accepting the validity of the claims which suspiciously have no peer review, and are then jumping the gun by associating it to things which ARE well scientifically established like climate change.

It's kinda leaping to an ethical and political discussion when there are a lot of outstanding questions about the science. And this is /c/science.

I can't speak for others. I didn't downvote you. But, your comment wasn't really... Science?

I can see that. I didn't mention the lack of evidence problem because the author did that in spades. I guess that's what I get for just firing off a comment!
