<<I wonder how these scientists could be so far off the mark then.....>>
Projecting a trendline into the future is a strong human tendency and scientists have been guilty of it as much as anybody. Such a trendline is a "model", but a simplistic one, because it ignores mechanisms which often rise to counter the trend. Still, you didn't link to a science paper, you linked to a paper written by a journalist who may, or may not, have read a scientific paper. More than likely, the source paper is less histrionic.
