Err by

Hi teachers,

But the doomsayers don't simply err by dismissing mounting evidence and embracing the narrative of decline.

1. Is the sentence: err by dismissing mounting evidence and err by embracing the narrative of decline.

2. What is "embracing the narrative of decline". Those are big words for me.

3. Does "err" mean make mistakes? So by dismissing mounting evidence, so they make a mistake frequently. (since the tense is present tense, so I think it is frequent.)

Thank you.
