Big and bad hardware are those nukes.

The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) report says doubling nuclear capacity
would make only a small impact on reducing carbon emissions by 2035.
Research by the SDC suggests that even if the UK's existing nuclear capacity
was doubled, it would only provide an 8% cut on CO2 emissions by 2035
(and nothing before 2010).

What are the alternatives? Whatever UK would spare in global CO2 emission
until then,developing countries will recoup. Hot perspectives. Do you know that
after melting, oceans rise 2 mm each year? 4 centimeters until 2035. Not too much
you would say, but what about in the next 200 years? 20cm? Probably much more,
because global temperature rise will melt Artic, Siberia permafrost and large parts of Antartica and Greenland, and accelerate global sea rising.
