Problem is they aren't a nation, they're spread across multiple, and there are lots of actually innocent people living in and under the tyranny of ISIS.
People are quick to come to the nuclear conclusion, despite the fact that we avoid using those now for very good reasons.
However, if the UN would get off their collective asses and pool together their nations resources and armies... Well, I imagine 50% of the world's armies descending on the relatively small area ISIS mainly inhabits from essentially every direction... Well, hostilities would be over in a month.
But alas, everyone's too scared of sending people in to fight, despite the fact that is what an army is for. Yes, people on our side would be lost. That's terrible. But it would also be essentially the end of what is quickly showing itself to be a worldwide threat.

We could undo the damage caused by greenhouse gases by delibrately throwing some nukes at each other in order to intentionally trigger a nuclear winter. The resulting ice age would re-set earth's climate.
I like explaining this sort of stuff though so I'll assume the latter.
Basically nuclear winter assumes at least 100 global firestorms both natural and resulting from nuclear detonation, which means 100 infernos so massive they create a local meteorological event by sheer air pressure displacement. After this these firestorms will throw so much soot and ash into the sky that it blots out the sun, which obviously will cool the planet, but it would also cause substantial ozone depletion, with the 1-2 years of total sun blockage and black rain caused by poorly understood chemical behaviors no doubt ravaging plant life and agriculture further exacerbating global hunger, our now substantially cooled planet will also soon have to contend with solar radiation and higher temperatures than ever.
There's also the "nuclear summer" theory that states the decay of plants and animals killed by nuclear winter will cause an abnormally high injection of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere but it seems to be considered an unimportant footnote to the effects of nuclear winter.
I hope.
