You always have to examine the motives of those who would have you galvanize against a sudden and imminent calamity.
For example, in the scenario where we "have to do something drastic" about global warming, the winners are:
1-Lawmakers and regulators-We need a bill!
2-Taxing advocates and their agents-We need money!
3-Energy/carbon traders-We will make the money on the spread!
4-Climatologists-who ever heard of these guys ten years ago?
5-Candidates running for office-You need us to lead you!
6-News media-read about it here
7-Book publishers-Read more about it.
8-Alternate energy advocates-Buy from us!
9-Environmentalists-Worship at our altar!
Who are the losers?
All of us who will be taxed, regulated and rationed.
Let the good times roll!
