It's done this hundreds of thousands of times over billions of years (a stat I just made up, but you see my point). Heck, we humans exist because of an event that created an environment where our tiny ancestors were able to thrive without being swallowed whole by a moving building with teeth!
Really what the focus needs to be on is "survival of the species" but us stopping doing things that could potentially kill our future generations. The answer may be the same, but the problem is not around saving the planet.
I'm going to have to disagree on whether nuclear is part of the solution or not. It is a much more efficient, and from what I've seen is less environmentally impactful solution, than most of the so called "green" solutions.
I do agree though that there is very little "green" about electric cars, and right now other than making you feel good, there is no true advantage to them.
