I think you're looking at this the right way. We aren't "on the verge" of climate catastrophe, or "at the edge": we are already over the cliff, and the rocks are getting closer by the second.
Our only chance is to de-carbonize energy now, and the only technology that gets us there is nuclear.

We aren't "on the verge" of climate catastrophe, or "at the edge": we are already over the cliff, and the rocks are getting closer by the second. To be fair, this is a possibility, but not established fact. Assuming “the cliff” in question is runaway global warming.
