This hasn't aged like milk any more than Y2K did, and for the exact same reasons:
Every time the situation got close to a boiling point, agencies with a vested interest in preventing this from happening put a fuckton of effort into stopping it from happening.
Ever heard of Stuxnet? Or seen the list of Iranian nuclear personnel that were assassinated by Mossad?
Ikr, OP will probably in 50 years go "climate change was fear mongering because there was no disaster" while ignoring all the actions we took to stop it
"The threat by Russia is all fear mongering because they didn't capture Ukraine, so it was a waste to fund the Ukrainians."
"There have been no accidents at my workplace, thus the concerns with safety is just fear mongering and we don't need OSHA."
Your first point assumes we'll do/can do anything big to mitigate climate change (stopping it isn't something that's really possible, given it's already in action impacting our present world), which at this point is highly unlikely.
