A lot of people claim to have had negative interactions with him in the wild, but I haven't seen any proof yet. I've very suspicious that someone's who educates about the dangerous of climate change has this much hearsay against them. I've also heard he gets a lot of off topic questions when he does talks and gets impatient with people. He doesn't actually claim to be a scientist and if he gets questions that he didn't prepare for, he's not going to be able to give good answers.
In regards to the off topic question thing; that just sounds like a fairly normal person. I feel like anyone could get annoyed by being asked constantly about non-relevant stuff. Sure, some folks are very good at handling those things with grace and should be applauded for it, but I feel like that's a noteworthy exception and not how most folks would react depending on the severity of course.
