Global heating is worse.
Nuclear has a worse worst case scenario. But global warming is worse because it's not a hypothetical threat, it's something that is already happening.
Nuclear threat could be (and was) resolved with common sense, but the time to resolve global warming with common sense was 30 years ago. Now our best outcome is to mitigate its effects. In the best case scenario millions will die. Mass migrations and wars are likely to happen. Recent data even say that we might have underestimated the risk.
> Climate change is reversible in a couple hundred years [...] At worst many people will die but not the entire earth will be inhabitable.
The planet will be fine, our civilisation might not be.
