It gets even more interesting: these people support that individuals should be able to defend themselves against a zombie apocalypse with the argument (I assume) that "even though that is a very unlikely event, the consequences would be catastrophic, so we should be ready for that". Basically: probability * consequences > pain-threshold The same people are viscerally opposed to the fight against global warming, because it is an "unlikely event", even though the consequences would be vastly more catastrophic for humankind, if it turns out to be true. I don't understand their logic.
