I think the big problem for those fighting to see better environmental changes is that there seems to be hyperbole about the worst possible outcomes.
"If X and Y happens along with factor Z, water levels could rise anywhere between 5cm and 100cm in a 15-100 year period" is a statement that allows for a lot leeway - and it'll automatically become "scientists say water levels will rise 100cm in 15 years" as a headline - and when this worst-case scenario doesn't play out, we see "hyuk hyuk hyuk, climate science is silly" and so on.
We should try to clean up our act in every sphere possible as safely as possible - it'll do us good and will protect us against the worst - and if the worst doesn't happen, well, great, we came away from non-sustainable sources of energy / ruining our Planet anyway.
