Humans don't naturally have glacial attention spans, pun intended.
The disaster is too slow-moving for human time scales to prepare for until it's too late. And our current systems of business and government aren't covering this natural blind spot when they're similarly incentivized to focus on short-term results/re-election.
On a lighter note, watch Invader Zim's Walk For Your Lives [0] episode which cleverly speaks to this problem in the subtext.
