We thought COVID-19 was a threat?
Thankyou Michael Moore, a man who has campaigned and committed his own personal resources to fighting greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants all his life.

Oh, and the late Professor David Mackay, former adviser to the UK Department of Energy, and professor of Physics at Cambridge University.
https://www.withouthotair.com/c32/page_250.shtml (This book's free online and does not explicitly come out against current wind and solar. It does urge thorough, open, verifiable examination of the arithmetic.“Please don’t get me wrong: I’m not trying to be pro-nuclear. I’m just pro-arithmetic.” )
FWIW, the best coursework mark I got at University was for an essay written for my Nuclear professor. I used his own charts and figures - gained from a 40-year career in the nuclear industry - to argue, around the time of Chernobyl, that we should never build another nuclear power reactor.
That was in the middle of the 1980s. Climate change was something not widely recognised as a problem - Dr. James E. Hansen's speech to Congress was still four years away.
When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?

I'm not saying nuclear is the only answer, nor that nuclear fission should be in the long-term - at least not U-235/238 based power reactors, some of the more advanced designs involving molten salts seem to have the potential to consume almost anything they generate that might be dangerous.
Prof Jim McDonald, Principal at the University of Strathclyde, a real expert in electricity transmission thinks it must play a part.
The Scottish Government, and it's "Green" supporters, do not agree.
