"[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?

Wildfires are raging on the East Coast and West Coast of the US, including 21K acres of land burned from the Mountain Fire in Ventura County, Calif., and 3K acres of land from the Jennings Creek Wildfire in Passaic County, New Jersey.

Alongside the Jennings Creek Fire, which is currently 10% contained, fires are also burning in Michigan, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania There have been over 100 brush fires in New York City this month.

The New Jersey fire was blown into New York's Orange County, which led to air quality advisories put in place in NYC and the Hudson Valley. An 18-year-old New York park employee was killed after a tree fell on him while he was clearing brush to fight a fire.

The New York Times

After NYC reportedly endured its driest October in the city's history, the New York metropolitan region was still only expected to receive a quarter- to half-an-inch of rain by Monday.

Across the Northeast, hundreds of fires have ignited this autumn, with the current ones at various stages of containment, including one that's been 100% contained. In California, the Mountain Fire has resulted in thousands of evacuations and over 100 structures destroyed.

According to the National Integrated Drought Information System, 43.4% of the US and Puerto Rico and 51.89% of the lower 48 states are in drought as of Nov. 5, including 318.6M acres of crops.

Global warming is creating a cycle of disaster. First, carbon emissions lead to hotter and dryer climates, which lead to larger fires across the country, and those fires release more carbon into the atmosphere. Not only are they burning down millions of acres of coastal land, but they're emitting more amounts of toxic smoke that Americans are forced to breathe in. Americans don't even have to read climate literature to see and smell the effects of climate change.

Yes, Climate Change is Raising the Risks of Extreme Wildfires

This is the fault of climate change. Carbon emissions are leading to hotter and drier climates, leading to larger fires that release more carbon into the atmosphere. Not only are millions of acres of coastal land burning but toxic smoke is being emitted. Americans don't even have to read climate literature to see and smell the effects of climate change.

The role of climate change in wildfires is exaggerated, often at the expense of other crucial factors like human-caused ignitions and poor forest management. This distortion stems from twisted criteria in academic publishing that favor politicized discourse over truth, leading false narratives about climate impacts to hinder the development of practical solutions. The so-called scientific community has been hijacked by political movements with no care for real research.
