It does carry some dangers, all the obvious ones really but humans have always lived dangerously, it is how we have progressed so rapidly. It is probably going to catch up with us one day.

What do you mean one day? We poured hundreds of billions of dollars (adjusted for inflation) into weaponizing atomic power, then dropped the sun on Japan twice.

It's catching up with us all the time and has been doing so since we came into existence. Everyone who has died because of anything we do fits that.
