Probably a latent frustration response to perceived apathy
that many believe the "sheep-minded" populace tends to have,
i.e. a reaction to irresponsible, wasteful, consumer-driven,
hedonistic living with no regard to the consequences of the
reckless actions taken. That is, an attempt by those
frustrated by such behavior to use shock and awe to try
to say "wake up" to those that perpetuate such behavior.
In essence, to try to get people, who primarily have
self-centered views, to try to get them to consider their
actions in relation to the collective. You might even
extrapolate it to mean that it is an unconscious desire
to get the masses to raise their level of consciousness, by
causing them to bring their awareness beyond the "egotistical me".
All in all, I consider it a good thing.
If it turns out that humans play a large role in climate change,
then the motivated changes by such attention is beneficial for
continued physical life here. If, on the other hand, it
turns out that humans play a small or relatively negligible
role in climate change, the changes taken by green initiatives
will nonetheless improve local environments while simultaneously
helping to bring more of a mindfulness into the consciousness of
everyday living (i.e. consciousness raises as a side-effect).
