I think you're exactly right. People know that wild card events are possible, but they prefer to think that it wont happen to them. I've followed global warming for 15 years, most people then though I was nuts. 10 years ago I wasn't nuts, just an alarmist. 5 years ago I was getting through but most thought it still wouldn't affect them, only future generations need worry. Now you don't need to be a scientist to see whats going on, and by the time we decide to do something it may be to late. Most people are happy to go about their daily lives and not worry about such things until they're directly affected. They're content in their false sense of security.
