Presumably your referring to Prof J. Scott Armstrong, whilst he is a professor of marketing, his university profile[1] details him as having carried out alot of research with regards to 'forecasting' (presumably data forecasting uses the same techniques whether your forecasting climate patterns or business/election patterns?), so much so that he's testified to various U.S. governmental committees. So I'm not sure why you find this as a reason to dismiss them. Don't get me wrong, It's a long read, with many citations, I'm sure some of them (most likely one of the youtube videos) may be horribly misguided/biased, but the one that you've decided to point out seems reasonable to my untrained eye. Given the strong feelings on both sides around topics such as climate change, I'm usually wary with regards to what is said (due to the potential for stretching the truth), but there are enough citations to seemingly established persons within this essay for it to atleast justify consideration of some of the points.
