That it got published shows the weaknesses of the peer-review system and a clear example to the public and the media that they should be careful before taking a single paper like this too serious. The fact that a major U.S. newspaper, such as the Seattle Times, rushed to put such obviously problematic work on the front page is disturbing. This is not educating the public, but attempting to scare them and gain clicks. One does not have to wonder why some vulnerable individuals are suffering from "climate anxiety" when local media publishes such unfounded and unsupportable predictions of massive deaths.
