Oh warnings are good. But excess hyperbole can lead to not
   caring after a while. I was never raised in an environment of
   doom + gloom, "do something now before it's too late"
   environment. I had my own global anxieties; The Bomb felt real.
   I drew pictures of it growing up, learned about it, became
   fascinated by physics and the powers that lurk deep within
   matter itself at a young age. Life long fascination in fact.
   Compare "Global Thermonuclear War" to today's 3 minutes to
   midnight? Everybody's vaporized vs life is awkward and
   uncomfortable for some or many. In both cases, I look around me.
   What can I do? Talk? Get OTHER people excited about the
   falling-of-the-sky? I _could_. But what good does it do in the
   end but something to talk about? I'd rather talk about positive
   futures.
