The problem isn't the choice between nuclear and solar; it's that over the past 40 years we had a choice between nuclear and coal, and atom panic caused us to pick coal.
And that's what's killing our civilization. So much damage has been done that even if we magically switched to 100% renewables right this second, we're still proper fucked.
While carbon removal is probably going to be required, stopping the excess output is going to be the main priority for sure. I think there's many carbon sinks existing naturally already - they are just all overloaded.

Good thing we don't have to choose between nuclear and solar. We could do both.
