Actually... (4.00 / 2)
there is a theoretical doomsday risk attached to letting off a fart... yet millions of uncaring creatures do it every day on this planet.

Indeed, flipping on LHC has somewhat higher risk. Yet it remains very, very marginal. And Peak Oil + Credit Crunch have us doomed anyway, so don't worry, be happy.
