I think when deciding whether the "group" is singular or plural depends on the context because "group" nouns can be singular or plural depending on whether the group as an entity performs the verb or whether individual members of the group perform the verb action
The group of dogs is small
The group of dogs are being walked around the park now.
I think both are correct.
And I think this applies to other "group nouns" - majority, party, family, staff,..as well
In the context of our question:
the group of more than 2000 scientists (collectively) projects an average global warming of between 1.8 and 6.3 degrees fahrenheit ...
Therefore, we need the singular verb "projects" because the verb is applied to the group as a single entity.

THOUGHTS???
I selected E.
group...projects...between..and
between..and is idiomatic.
scientists collectively project....
Group depends on the usage involved.
straight from dictionary.com
Usage Note: Group as a collective noun can be followed by a singular or plural verb. It takes a singular verb when the persons or things that make up the group are considered collectively: The dance group is ready for rehearsal. Group takes a plural verb when the persons or things that constitute it are considered individually: The group were divided in their sympathies
