I think people tend to underweight tech improvements which is largely what happened with oil - we got better drilling and fracking tech. Which I guess you can understand in projections as it can be hard to read the future.

I've always thought the global warming doom was a bit overdone as there are a bunch of potential changes that could happen including better solar and batteries, effective carbon pricing, fusion energy, AGI helping out, geo engineering and so on that could be done. Also living with it - things getting hotter or colder is not an ususual occurance really.

It will seem overdone when it's solved, like Y2K. But only because people actually did the work and had the ideas.
