"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

Besides supporting emissions reduction projects, including forest management and household energy efficiency, the funds will reportedly bolster action towards local sustainability goals.

According to the Biden administration, the funding would reduce greenhouse emissions by roughly two percentage points by 2030.

The EPA said the 25 recipients — including states, tribes, and local governments — were selected from about 300 applications, which collectively sought nearly $33B in funding.
