The difference between all of those previous deadly perils and the current deadly perils of climate change and ecological collapse is that the latter are already happening and unstoppable. It's as if (in the nuclear war scenario) all of those ICBMs are in flight and some of them have already delivered their payloads.

It was the seeming unstoppable force of the nazis and total war that led the development of those nuclear weapons. Most of the biggest names in science came together to make sure the nazis lost and the total war ceased.
