Well, trying to appeal to adults hasn't worked terribly well so they might as well try to get the kids scared sh!tless.
They're the ones who will end up footing the bill.

They are definitely the ones that will foot the bill. If the government were really serious about climate change they would add a serious carbon tax to all energy and even apply it to imports so that local manufacturers are not disadvantaged. Though that could be used to cut the deficit as well.
