Not even that. Say there is a random chance of 1 in 1,000,000 that any given person will be struck by a meteorite. In this case, I can quite happily say that the chance that I will be hit is very small, but the chance that someone will be hit is very high (because there are a lot more someones than just me).
If the probability of people being affected is random and independent, then the above explanation holds. If the probability of people being affected is correlated, then it holds less.
For example, say there is a random chance of 1 in 10 that the earth will be destroyed by a meteorite. Then, the chance that I will be destroyed is equal to the chance that someone will be destroyed.
I think for global warming, it will be somewhere in-between.
