It increases large migrations, political unstability, drought… and that create geopolitical unstability, and the probability of conventional war, revolution, etc and those events can easily trigger a nucelar as long a nuclear power is involved. Do the math: around 1⁄3 of people lives in nuclear armed nations.
Nuclear war turn historical risk into something that can have geological time consequences. I don’t believe there is really any other existential risk (on the timescale of decades) other than nuclear war. There is only one “precipice” but many ways to fall there.
Would you mind writing a bit more about the connection between climate change and nuclear risk?
