Studies carried out by an independant body on behalf of a number of governments and the UN have clearly shown that use of guilt is counterproductive to climate change arguments and efforts to affect behavioural change.
I was surprised myself but take a look at the follow up work being done by COIN, very interesting and quite positive.
Append to that the same sentiments about doom mongering as demonstrated here. Also not helping the efforts against climate change. I realise that you may only be saying that this is the result of not taking any action but as soon as you start saying "we're all going to die" in any context, you've lost the vast majority of your audience.
