While I do agree that panic is unhelpful, the "who" is holding the doom sign does make quite the difference, in the same way you'd pay more attention to an oncologist giving you 6 months to live than you'd do to a random guy with a cardboard sign giving you 6 months to live.
The issue is not so much the sign being held by a young activist, but from all the other 100's of k's of scientists and experts behind it.
