I would argue that the destruction of major productive centers would be as disastrous as climate change. Why can’t both be true?
I could also be minimizing the threat of climate change by saying that the world won’t end because of it. It is an unreasonable bar however for us to consider something to be destructive. I don’t think it’s controversial to not want millions of deaths.
Because climate change will make some places, if not all, not livable for humans. Humanity is under threat of extinction.
A nuclear war will only have "local" consequences. Africa will be left untouched for example. Humanity on a large scale would be fine.
