Why are you arguing that the only options are the end of the planet or building nuclear reactors?

Not claiming those are the only options. I'm comparing the advantages with the risks. It just seems easier to watch a thousand tons of spent fuel than to dim the sun or remove a trillion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.

If you know of a baseload power source with similar carbon emissions to nuclear, I'm listening.
