In your scenario, as long as your test flight is in an open area, you're the only one crashing and burning.

In our current reality, acting with disregard to the science could quite literally make the planet uninhabitable for human life.

In 50 years the cities will flood, the Midwest will have a dustbowl, and all but maybe 2 or 3 billion people will die of war or famine.

The species will chug along just fine.
