What hockey stick are you referring to? The famous one from the climate debate does nowhere mention exponentiality (at least not on the wikipedia page). A sharp rise over a short period does not in itself claim exponentiality.

The famous one is an exponential, that necessarily emerges from any model with linear differential equations. If you prolong into the future or into the past, the very hypotheses ensure exponentially increasing or decreasing outcomes. The absurdity of baked into the model.
