This is not exactly true. Here is similar statistics ("what is a greatest danger in 21 century ") from astronomy forum :

Nuclear war - 19.8 % Resources depletion - 10 % Nothing, there is no threat - 9,4% Asteroid - 8,4 % Lack of interest for life - 6.3% Overpopulation - 5.5% AI - 4.5% Simulation shutdown - 3.9% Solar flare - 3.7% Grey goo - 2.4% Biological weapons - 3.5% Supervulcano - 2.6%

(rest goes to "other" ).
