because he hasnt' seen our future, he's only seen his.

They explain this many times in the discussion about how time travel works - there are many different planes of time and each time you go back or forth you are never in the exact same one that you were in previously.

So he prefaced everything by saying, "this is what happened in MY future but it probably isn't what is going to happen in yours". It was after 2000 when he was saying "in our time, the Y2K thing was a huge deal that caused a civil war...." so why would he say that it was a big deal to them after it wasn't a big deal to us?
