Given the amount of money the alarmists have, and have had over the last 50 years or more (when was Roman club, sixties?), and the money they are about to lay their hands on via carbon[hydrates] tax, I wouldn't be surprised if they were exaggerating a lot. It pays, handsomely.

I dont think it is like that. imo, the developer simply makes an interesting way to understand the numbers. He takes the stats from various sources, presumably as reported, and creates a clock counter based on the last "known" numbers. That there will be some error margin is not in doubt, that error will be in the original numbers, not in the fact that he makes a counter from it. Given the numbers as they are reported then this is an interesting way to view them.
