You may not be giving them enough credit. Last ice age was roughly 10,000 years ago. At these time scales it's difficult to predict what's going to happen... Of course lets not forget the costs either. Someone has to pay for this.

Seems to be highly irresponsible to leave poisonous garbage around no matter what.

The 'poisonous garbage' was deep in the earth previously, and there are naturally occurring pockets of gas that are arguably even more dangerous.

Given how distributed knowledge now is, it's pretty ridiculous to think that nuclear will be completely forgotten.
