It was -15 F (-26 C ) here at 6 AM so it's hard to convince me that "the end of the world is here now!"
The fear approach is not working in this part of the world. It might be better to point out more immediate social benefits to changes that would be caused by the effects of lowered high carbon footprint use; less pollution (air we can breath now), the economic advantages of the use of recyclable energy for reasons of political and economic stability and cleaner drinking water, etc. .
You will find less resistance to expense when the benefits are pointed out rather than dim and ambiguous data is preached to instill fear.

For real; the only ones who talk about the doomsday, are the ones who think this is a hoax, or haven't understood the whole subject. For example a common counter argument: "It isn't going to be the end of the world." is quite silly, as no-one has told it being the end of the world (no-one seriously taken).
There is no fear approach, at least in the way you present it. You are either victim of ignorance or propaganda. Or you news suck in general (which can contribute to both previously mentioned things).
