I don't think this remotely qualifies as a clickbait headline. The exact claim, word for word, is made by a sufficiently credible expert that they're citing in the article.

I'm not saying you can't disagree with the expert. By all means, make your case. But don't call it clickbait. This is absolutely valid reporting. Your disagreement is with the person they're reporting on, not the people doing the reporting.
