"[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 this point it is virtually certain we will blow through [the 1.5C] target."

'"On our current path... we will reach that 1.5-degree limit sometime in the 2030s."

"Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible [to limit global warming to 1.5C]"

"We are still nowhere near the scale and pace of emission reductions required to put us on track toward a 1.5C world."

We won't have "extreme cases like of 4 degrees [Celsius] warming," but will "miss the 2-degree goal."

"[C]utting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5 degrees."

Keeping global warming to 1.5C is "entirely doable" and "simply a matter of political willpower."

Will Global Warming Be Limited to 1.5°C or "Well Below" 2°C?

"There is no planet B [habitable to human beings]."

"I would never say we can never reach the stars and possible habitable planets."

"The discovery of Gliese 12 b is a stepping stone towards finding potentially habitable planets."

The discovery of several smaller and cooler stars is "the best bet for finding habitable planets."

"[W]e're more likely to detect planets in the habitable zone with TESS [NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite]."

"There is a 7% chance that 2025 will rank as the warmest year on record."

"It's unlikely 2025 will be as hot as 2024."

"Years such as 2025 which aren't dominated by the warming influence of El Niño, should be cooler."

"2025 will be moderately cooler than 2024."

"It is likely that 2025 will not be as hot as recent years."

"Don't count 2025 out in the race for hottest year."

"The global mean temperature in 2025 is expected to surpass the earlier record set during the exceptionally strong 2014-2016 El Niño."

"The high January temperatures have increased the odds of 2025 being the warmest year on record."

Will 2025 Be the Hottest Year Ever Recorded?

A new study by World Weather Attribution and Climate Central found that the world will add approximately 57 additional superhot days annually by 2100 if countries fulfill their Paris Agreement emission reduction pledges, limiting warming to 2.6 degrees Celsius.</span

A new study by World Weather Attribution and Climate Central found that the world will add approximately 57 additional superhot days annually by 2100 if countries fulfill their Paris Agreement emission reduction pledges, limiting warming to 2.6 degrees Celsius.

Without the Paris Agreement's emission reduction efforts, Earth would have faced an additional 114 superhot days per year by century's end, representing double the increase compared to current projections under the agreement's framework.</span

Without the Paris Agreement's emission reduction efforts, Earth would have faced an additional 114 superhot days per year by century's end, representing double the increase compared to current projections under the agreement's framework.

Since 2015, the world has already experienced an average of 11 additional superhot days per year, with superhot days defined as temperatures warmer than 90 percent of comparable dates between 1991 and 2020 for each location.</span

The 10 countries facing the largest increases in dangerous heat days are predominantly small, ocean-dependent nations that collectively produce only 1 percent of global heat-trapping gases but will experience nearly 13 percent of additional superhot days.</span

The 10 countries facing the largest increases in dangerous heat days are predominantly small, ocean-dependent nations that collectively produce only 1 percent of global heat-trapping gases but will experience nearly 13 percent of additional superhot days.

Major carbon-polluting countries including the United States, China and India are predicted to experience only 23 to 30 extra superhot days despite being responsible for 42 percent of atmospheric carbon dioxide but receiving less than 1 percent of additional heat.</span

Heat adaptation efforts have expanded with 104 countries now issuing extreme heat warnings and 47 having national heat action plans, though financing remains limited with heat adaptation projects receiving less than 2 percent of global climate finance.</span
