What I’m contending is that there are real present/upcoming risks which we should directly address, rather than hypothetical risks that aren’t well defined.
I personally believe that the present risks are addressable with existing technology and that we can handle it as a society.
When controlling a forest fire you don’t really just dump water on where the fire is currently burning. You do controlled burns and clear cutting and various prep work in the path of the fire.
It seems extremely clear and well-defined that the specific, present risks you mention will be amplified by the obvious progress and increased availability of the tools. That’s not really super vague at this point and we can definitely be addressing it.
