"[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?

Tropical Cyclone Narelle crossed the Queensland coast near Cape York Peninsula around 7am AEST on Friday as a category four system, producing wind gusts of more than 250km/h, after being downgraded from category five shortly before landfall.

The Bureau of Meteorology warned of major hazards including wind gusts exceeding 250km/h, flash flooding and storm surge, with 24-hour rainfall totals of between 100mm and 350mm possible across parts of northern Queensland.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli described Narelle as potentially "the biggest system that many people have seen in living memory," noting it would be only the fourth category five cyclone to cross the Queensland coast in 50 years.

Sea surface temperatures in the Coral Sea were between 1C and 2C above average along Narelle's track, fueling its rapid intensification. Climate scientist Andrew Watkins noted the Coral Sea had recorded its hottest December, February, summer and calendar year on record.

After crossing Cape York Peninsula and weakening to category two, Narelle was forecast to re-intensify over the Gulf of Carpentaria before making a second landfall along the eastern Northern Territory late Saturday, prompting about 500 people to be airlifted from the remote community of Numbulwar.

The Archer River near Lockhart River rose from five metres to 13m in six hours after Narelle's arrival, forcing a nearby family on a cattle station to shelter in a shipping container. About 230 homes lost power across the Cook Shire Council area.
