"[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."

Meteorologists attribute the extreme conditions to a heat dome - a high-pressure system trapping hot air over the eastern United States - with nighttime temperatures remaining in the 70s to 80s, providing little relief for recovery.</span

While the heat is certainly uncomfortable, the government response seems excessive for what is essentially normal summer weather arriving a bit early. Opening emergency cooling centers and declaring heat emergencies for temperatures that regularly occur every summer creates unnecessary panic and wastes taxpayer resources that could be better allocated elsewhere.

This heat wave represents a serious public health emergency that demands immediate government action. Cities are rightfully opening cooling centers and declaring heat emergencies to protect vulnerable populations, especially the elderly and those without air conditioning. The fact that heat kills more people than hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes combined shows why aggressive intervention is necessary.
