In the case of climate change, it's a case of them refusing to hear what they don't want to hear: That we need to make sacrifices in the short run and big changes in the long run. The fear is mostly based on economics. It's very short-sided IMO. They should see it as an opportunity to develop green tech and make a killing.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
