It's pretty simple, solar and wind can't come close to meeting the world's energy demand, so if you say no to nuclear, you are inescapably saying yes to more fossil fuels and accelerated climate change.
Entire swaths of the planet will become uninhabitable due to the climate there becoming too hot, too dry, or outright flooded. Increasing fossil fuel use only makes this happen sooner.
The effects of climate change could lead to billions of deaths and threaten human civilization entirely. For more details on the effects on climate change, see (starting at around 9:26):
