Granted there is a tendency to hyperbole that foresees a kind of "Mad Max" level of devastation but it would be unwise to wholly discount the collapse of certain parts of the eco-system - especially outside the sphere of wealthy countries. There's historical precedent. Parts of North Africa and Middle East that are perceived as desolate were once, in fact, green with reasonable levels of water access. Humans changed that.
What "story"? That it is on the horizon? That doesn't fit with "didn't happen", which sounds like you're thinking of something like giving a time frame for a collapse which then didn't happen in that time frame.
Can you give an example of that, maybe except the 2012 stuff and tiny religious sects you can't possibly be naming in one breath with David Attenborough?
Whatever’s happening with the climate, we should be working to mitigate the risks - decrease the cost of food while increasing resilience of production; same goes for our infrastructure, what else? I get the feeling we’re being snowed with all this hyperbole around CO2 and rhe warming planet. Bottom line is we need to become stewards of the Earth and Sea; fretting about carbon emissions is a distraction.
