The notion that it needs to be made out to be a catalyst for a sudden cataclysmic event is not rooted in a desire to "wake people up", but rather the use of the threat as a quasi-religious tool, albeit one where there is no way one may be redeemed to the priestly class.

If we are wrong and you are right, we will prepare for a catastrophe that does not come to pass. This would be (relatively) a wonderful outcome. A worse outcome is that we are right and you are wrong - in which case, you are delaying us from taking sensible precautionary actions.

I don’t think anybody is saying that global warming IS a catastrophe. We’re treating it as an emergency in case it becomes one. We (e.g. Stern, 2006) used moderate language to advise on prudent precautionary spending but this failed. Fortunately, straight talking is now working.
