The world will be fine. I'm more concerned about the humans and other organisms.

Yes, thanks to higher temperatures it has become harder to cool nuclear and coal powerplants.

How does this not apply to solar and wind? If anything Nuclear designs can at least build in additional cooling, but you have no way to make weather more consistent, especially in the case of runaway climate change.

This doesn't materially affect the cost-benefit of nuclear.

You just have to build the plants with slightly larger cooling towers and use slightly more cooling water.

And ignore the 1% failure rate for commercial nuclear power plants. And the clean up costs. And the waste storage costs. And the decommissioning costs.

Nuclear doesn't make sense. Economically and ecologically.

Compared to coal it probably does, ecologically.
