Possibly. They have always used a range of models. The counter argument is that the most extreme scenario model you are talking about (RCP 8.5) successfully served as a vital "Ghost of Christmas Future" by showing the catastrophic reality of a 5 degree centigrade warming scenario. By illustrating the absolute worst-case outcome, it shocked global policymakers into investing heavily in renewable energy and emission-reduction policies. That worst case scenario has now been retired because it achieved its goal: it forced humanity to actively bend the climate curve away from disaster.

Can we use the same tactics concerning immigration?
I think if all western governments championed the absolute worse case scenario that could be imagined, and encouraged (sometimes forced) every citizen to go along with the narrative then it wouldn't be a problem for very long at all.
A means to an end, if you will.

Damage limitation policies spinning away in his evil head.
