All they do is scare the people that are already scared.
And they are losing their effectiveness on them too.

They have no effect at all on the people that run the corporations that can do something about it. I'm sure they are totally ignored.

Scaring the world does nothing because the rich that run things know that they will be provided for even if no one else is.

Until the world comes up with a serious carrot or stick to apply to corporations the world will continue to ignore all these warnings.
