TBF a nuclear incident is not like burning just one house down. It’s burning down the whole city and making it unusable for a decade or ten.

While 100% true for nuclear, the current state of burning fossil fuels is much MUCH worse.

Yes. Over the long term it will render the planet uninhabitable, or at least close enough to it.

Some experts would argue it's already starting to be uninhabitable.
