Once (not if) their predictions are shown to be overblown, will they be penalized in some way? They are making the entire scientific community look bad and fueling "told you so" conspiracy nuts. This is gonna discredit even climate change models in the long run.
Why do people outside of statistics and physics insist so much in misusing scientific methodology for personal profit? Why doesn't the scientific community shun them?
