I have discovered the more the supporters of a cause try to scare me the more likely that what they are pushing is false and not in my best interests.

As to scare tactics and shilling I have also found this to be the case.

Xers generally do because it is part of the toolkit we tend to develop needed to survive.  The ability to detect scams as early as possible is a valuable survival skill.

Determining whether something is or is not a scam is a technique that nearly everyone needs.  Some are merely better at doing just that than others.

In this case, I for a long while believed that the whole anthroprogenic global warming thing was a reality for a while.  Unfortunately the predictions that were made on the basis of that belief did not come true.  Now I could do like some others and ignore  that reality and continue to hold onto a viewpoint that wasn't working or I could scrap it for something else.

That said, it was far easier to stop believing in AGW than it was the labor theory of value.
