Examples of messaging on climate

This is from a youth blogger on the negotiations in Bonn.

"In 2050, I’ll be 77, and given the pace of the climate talks in Bonn these two weeks, I’ll likely spend most of my retirement either under water or on fire."

And this is from CAP:

"The clean-energy economy is not a pipe dream: It is already happening in states across the country. More than 750,000 jobs already exist in renewable and efficient energy, waste management, land remediation, and the hundreds of other occupations that combine environmental preservation with economic growth."

Considering where Americans are on jobs (#1 priority) and climate (#20), which goal seems to be the most attractive? Which goal encourages rather than shames us into changing our behavior and creating good energy policy?
