I think it's more essential for the future chances of everyday survival, but as you wish.
An interesting-enough read:

Tha annoying part? Obviously the large majority of people are either uninterested (read: completely ignorant and stupid), think they can 'sit through' the inavoidable by turning away from the sight and claiming there is no problem (read: whistling in the woods) or want (everybody else too) toe 'stay low' as they seem to think they will keep out of trouble then. All of them are a threat for survival too as they won't help when necessary (or way too late) or even hinder the trys of those who search and try to find other ways of survival.
(My new colleague belongs to the first group: young and attractive as she is she knows very well that thinking just isn't something she needs, acting as if 'future' isn't something she'll be confronted with.)
I am more afraid of the humans (or better: the civilised humans as only civilisation takes such a toll on the abilities of 'higher intelligence') - their obvious ineptitude in combination with their habits - than I am when it comes to natural desasters or pest outbreaks - they're awful ,but not nearly as destructive.
Yes: I got angry today from all the ignorance around me. (Also fueled by the 'What is happiness?' week on all medias - with way too many people claiming that it's all up to everyone himself, indirectly pushing depression and burnout in the corner of 'weak chracter and mind' there. Just too many faces you suddenly want to punch.)
