I'll guess not much - since the climate models have been consistently wrong. But since Covid was politically weaponized in 2020 just as climate science was politically weaponized in the 1990s, I suppose we can learn something about Covid forecasters from their climate counterparts.

If a political leader's response to a quarter million deaths is denial, that's not weaponization, that's democracy working.
