I agree the whole thing is kind of silly, but "immediate" is relative - if viewing all of human history, environmental destruction in this century (say next 80 years), that would probably be the last few seconds of human life.
Also, as long as the world has 10k+ nuclear warheads are ready to be launched at the push of a few buttons, it wouldn't take much (accidents or quick escalations) to get to destruction.
