      Some were right, and the last one will also be.

      What you’re doing is called inductive reasoning, and it’s not very bright.

      “Lol, every day I wake up alive. Therefore, I will never die.”

          Because if there are two things that are comparable, it’s the mercurial whims of man vs the unstoppable force that is nature. And much like humans, nature can be reasoned with and convinced to not destroy everything.

            I mean, nuclear holocaust was plausible, but it depended nearly 100% on policy and the whims of people.

            Climate change also depends a lot on policy, but policy has already locked in 1.5°C warming, and seems likely to lock in another degree at least before anything really turns around.
