Once those things have happened, it's way, way too late to stop things from getting worse.

There is an infinite number of alarmist scenarios. We can not react to all of them. The argument that it would be too late if some thing x would really happen is not very useful for decision making.

For example a meteorite could hit earth and wipe out all life. Clearly we should pour all resources into building space ships.
