"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."

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

After heavy rain caused flooding and landslides along the Ishikawa region on the Sea of Japan, which is still recovering from the severe earthquake in January, at least six people have passed away and ten more are missing.

On Saturday, Suzu and Wajima on the northern shore of the Noto peninsula were among numerous Ishikawa prefecture cities under the highest notice for heavy rain from the Japan Meteorological Agency. The service lowered the heavy rain signal but maintained landslide and flooding warnings.

ABC News

Intense rain started on Saturday; in the course of 72 hours, the city of Wajima reported more than 21 inches (540 millimeters) of rain, the most since comparable data was available. Flooding occurred in the emergency housing for earthquake victims on January 1.
