Hmmm... that's the problem. Many are too content with the seconds and hours of their lives. As long as nothing bad happens in the next few days, nothing bad will ever happen. Or until the TV tells you that a huge asteroid will hit us, or there is a 300m high tidal wave coming over, or your garden is in fact a super volcano. But no, that won't happen will it? No, it will never happen to you. And if it does, good old technology saves your butt (like a helicopter), and you just say: Pfew! That was close.
Think about it...

Nuclear "war" is always a threat! It doesnīt take 1,000 missiles to create a holocaust. One missile will create tremendous destruction. We have no idea today how much damage a single missile will do (because we havenīt used one thank god). The last paragraph changes your original question. You change from humanity to a single human. Oh and if an asteroid was bound for Earth this moment I can assure you we wouldnīt be able to stop it. And if I had had a volcano in my backyard?
ROTFL! I wish I did. I could grow exotic plants then
! But actually the ancient chinese culture was able to "predict" earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
