Thereby causing global climate disruption, likely ultimately causing billions to starve.

Nice work.

We'll be fine. We already have the tool to save the climate (nuclear), just need to actually use it.

It would take far too long to get enough nuke capacity online to do any good, and would steal capital from more cost-effective measures. Nuke power was never justifiable on a cost basis, and is much less so now than ever before.
