[ExI] The "Only existential threat"

So I was just reviewing:
Deja Vu (But Worse) - Biden vs. Trump ft. "Weird Al" Yankovic, a
comedic take on the debate...
https://youtu.be/6fNWHbnIn0g?si=9ZEogsjK-zVL1-yk

And at 2:06 Biden says "The only existential threat to humanity is
climate change"

Did he really say that? I'd honestly put AI above climate change, at
least potentially before climate change. But to say that it is the
ONLY existential threat seems like limited imagination at the very
least. Don't we still have nuclear weapons? Space weather? Running out
of something essential? Russians? Supervolcanoes? Cats and dogs
sleeping together?

I'll be so glad when this insanity is behind us and we have an actual
AI as president.
