Yeah, but they said "most perilous time". It's hard to argue that nuclear annihilation is more likely now than in 1950~1990.

Even if a miracle happened and we reached zero emissions today there are still 40 years of warming from current emissions in the atmosphere plus unstoppable feedbacks that have already been triggered (Arctic ice, methane in the permafrost, etc). Nobody really knows how much warming these feedbacks will add or for how long. And even in the best case scenario we won't get to zero emissions in at least a couple of decades.
