"Catastrophe." Why is it the greenloons LOVE to use scare

Because people won't buy books telling them everything is fine,
nothing to worry about.

The world is full of science deniers who buy exactly that kind
of book.

The world is full of bestseller lists packed with doom and gloom
predictions of the apocalypse, because stupid people buy them.

Yeah. I remember the ones about the Mayan calendar, and of course
there's no shortage of garbage directed at the religious (who are, by
definition, stupid and credulous). Nothing about global warming falls
into that category, though. The risks there are very real, and the
science is very good.
