"Blaming the scientists for not telling people how BAD it would really be" is the sort of thing I expect the wingnuts of the world to eventually pivot to, en masse, when even they can no longer pretend "it's a democrat hoax". Overnight, they'll get the order that this is the proper angle from wingnut leadership, and they'll unblinkingly adopt it. "So it's super-real, and it's REALLY the fault of the scientists for not telling us the severity decades ago!!!", completely ignoring the fact that ALL ALONG they've claimed the exact opposite. Wingnuts have a unique ability to do this sort of mental gymnastics I've noticed in my decades of dealing with them.
They also very often come around belatedly to the shit that liberals correctly told them about, that they denied for years, and then make up excuses for why they were idiots until recently. Look at MAHA, for example, harping about pesticides and herbicides en masse, after making fun of "granola girls", and "farming communes" and "organic food" and things like that for fucking decades, because it was hippy-dippy liberal nonsense back then
