Yes I agree... there are definite limits to our individual and collective 'lifetimes', for a whole bunch of reasons, while we are all bunched in one cradle.
The problem with getting folk to see, and react to, future danger is that the beastie is not built that way. Drunks lay down on the road... there is no car coming 'now'. Economies plough ahead with inefficiencies since 'we haven't seen any indisputable proof of global climate change'. I, and millions of other aussies walk around without sunscreen on... It seems that the danger has to be imminent, highly visible, and _understandable_ before we act.
Good luck trying to get a grb onto the public radar....
