Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

As for timetables that is irrelevant to the overall trajectory and dynamic that the human species finds itself in. So the flip side of criticizing premature end is nigh predictions is to assume thus that an end or doom scenario is not approaching or will not happen because it did not happen by so and so date

Many people thought so, but it was the bomb, not peak-oil, that was going to doom us.

"now we have alot more/bigger bombs "
that's factually wrong , the number of warheads deployed or in storage has substantially decreased
there were some 60.000 in 1985 , now its 16.000
also the yield is now much smaller ,the megaton monsters have been retired , this is due to much improved accuracy .
what matter is not how big a bomb is but where it land ,it's measured in instant pressure and decrease with a square function with the distance .
a Megaton bomb falling 500 yards off is far less efficient than a 20 Kiloton falling within two feet
