Forgot to mention:

Climate change has occurred over hundreds of thousands of years in the history of the earth but has never shifted like this within a period of just 100-200 years, as it has since the industrial revolution and the growth of human population from 1 billion to 7.7 billion. So it is amazing that deniers resort to quibbling over little differences of 10 years to dismiss the predictions. It's typical reactionary behavior to attack the messengers by pointing out that they are not perfect. If anyone really suspects that some warnings are PURPOSELY over-alarming, then consider them just "truthful hyperbole". That is how a certain person in the White House has described the technique he himself finds necessary to persuade someone to go along with what you know is right.

So who cares if certain public figures climb on board touting the worst case scenario partly to further their own standing? Any inaccuracy in their estimates does nothing to negate the findings about human-accelerated climate change that the scientific community has indeed reached consensus on. The case made in that nit-picking "Prager U" video that Asteriks linked to was from 2016 and based on a few outlier's comments made years earlier than that. A lot of data has been compiled since then and shows the trajectory of climate degradation is actually even more drastic than predicted.
