A possibly better approach might be to reward “good” behavior. Not sure exactly how yet, but I’m thinking.

Designed to scare us? Of course! And we should be scared. Scared, as in concerned. Not scared as in mindless panic.
The "fanaticism", as you negatively portray it, is really just folks that recognize a problem that needs fixing and are ready to get to work on it. Those that refuse to recognize the problem or paint the problem as not of importance of requiring immediate action don't want to be bothered by the inconvenience to their lifestyle.
Maybe the reward for "good behavior" you mention could be leaving behind a cleaner, healthier world? Or, maybe you would rather have a cookie? (Just teasing. Please don't be angry)
PS. Just between us, I want the cleaner, healthier world AND a cookie ... chocolate chip.
