Was the removal of Pluto as a planet by Neil DeGre Tyson the ripoff of the century?

Why did Tyson have to demote Pluto? Nine planets gave symmetry to the solar system. Now everything is really out of whack. For years there had even been talk of raising Pluto's moon Charon to planetary status because they orbit each other and Charon is bigger than Pluto. That would not have been a good idea and would have thrown everything out of whack just as much. But what Neil Tyson did was unforgivable. Nature has been much more angry since the demotion of Pluto and has played havoc with the world's climate to no end. Pay no attention to Al Gore. It's Neil Degre Tyson who caused global climate change. And we loved the name Pluto as well. Removing it as a planet really made the solar system boring. How can we ever advance when scientists are such killjoys? Tyson even begrudged us Pluto. He got tens of thousands of angry letters about it and rightfully so.
