The problem of confirmation bias is that we can always find evidence to support our beliefs. The challenge is being able to find evidence that disputes our irrational fears.
The world will be fine. Doomsayers have been around for thousands of years. Many of the predictions rarely come true. Many people could have committed suicide in the 60s. After all, everyone was convinced the Soviets were going to nuke the West. It didn't happen.
How we view the world is something that we have control over and something that we can choose.

Even the most cynical (up to the suicidal) love the world enough to rescue it for their own sakes. Movement toward or away from global annihilation progresses at a very slow pace. Mankind will have plenty of time to keep the world from dying, and even if we don't, I'm sure that life on the planet will re-emerge in another configuration when we're gone.

Lack of Humanity you say? I can understand that Man attempts to be Divine by saying Man is God but truly that cannot be. As Sartre states, Man's desire to be God is futile for Man is temporal and finite, he always wishes to be what he is not. But in the end, we all know our faults.
However, the world will live on, nuclear holocaust or not. Man might die but the world won't. Remember: Death is Life continuing without you...and the world will continue on.
