This is what is known colloquially as 'shooting the messenger'. You are putting blame in the wrong people. We are being trained to filter out BS precisely because of the misinformation levelled against scientists to discredit them. I would argue that there has been little to no hyperbole from scientists, literal or approximated to'everyone dies'. There has been careful and clearly hedged approximations of likelihood and possibilities. Most of which have turned out to be dramatically understated in the short term. A fair bit of this has happened in the media though, because it largely supports the status quo (right or left wing).
