"[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."

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

At least 95 people are dead following severe flooding in eastern and southern Spain. The worst hit was eastern Valencia, which endured a historic 'cold drop,' or when autumnal cold air from the north moves over the warm water of the Mediterranean.

The Telegraph

The New York Times

It was reportedly the country's worst natural disaster in decades, with areas like teh suburb Barrio de la Torre experiencing a year's worth of rainfall in eight hours, cars stacked on top of each other, trees uprooted, downed powerlines, and most of the deaths.

Other infrastructural damage included suspended high-speed train lines between Valencia and Madrid, indefinite closures of other train services, over 150K people without power, and multiple road closures, as the flooods turned many of them into rivers.
