Your skepticism is understandable and reflects a valid concern about the potential for sensationalism in climate research. The balance between gaining attention and maintaining scientific integrity is indeed delicate. However, the urgency expressed in studies like the one discussed comes from a place of rigorous analysis and is a call for action based on the data at hand. Models may not be perfect, but they are critical tools in understanding complex systems like our climate. The aim is to provoke necessary dialogue and action, rather than simply to alarm.
