I think it's certainly a top 3 issue, I'm just not sure if it's definitively number 1. I feel like the effects of automation / artificial intelligence on our society could be just as dramatic. What if a third of our population becomes obsolete in a (relatively) short time span, or even more dramatically we accidentally unleash a super-intelligence into the world?

None of the above is to say that climate change isn't certainly a massive problem over the next 25-50 years. I just feel like it's not alone.
