Thorium as well as molten salt still need to be feed with fresh material, you gain max 1000 years, this is already calculated you still run out and the more reactors you create the faster those 1000 years will shrink. Compensating is not possible.
You still produce waste.
You still have downsides, lots of them, linked them multiple times already.
Nuclear war is already at risk with Ukraine, the risk is not theoretically, it is actually real threat and even if there is no Ukraine, the next political conflict will come so or so.
If nuclear fallout happen then you have other problems to worry about than climate. This is then only the cherry on top.
I do not argue human life here, with no one. Better .. when is it better .. when 1 dies ... 10, 100.. when is enough enough. Nuclear killed thousands of people, there is not even a statistic on how many people die alone of mining the uranium that causes cancer. Maybe 5000k+- and how many will die in next years when next reactors blow up and how will climate respond when you pump in waste water back into ocean and claim is all clean, secure ... unpredictable...

Nuclear is mass suicide supported by Trump voter, same misguided people.
