"[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."

"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?

A study published in Communications Sustainability found that the world's top 10% of consumers cause between $1.7 trillion and $5.7 trillion in environmental damage annually, exceeding international climate and biodiversity financing commitments.

Researchers from Oxford and Leiden universities found that over 60% of the world's top 10% of consumers live in the US and EU, with more than half of the US population falling into this category.

Biodiversity loss accounts for 47-56% of the total environmental damage bill, while climate change accounts for 36-45%, making them the two largest contributors identified in the study.

Per-person environmental damage costs for the top 10% in the US range from $19,000 to $63,000 annually, compared to $410 to $1,400 for the top 10% in India.

The study's figures are considered conservative, covering only four of nine planetary boundaries and excluding investment-linked emissions, which account for roughly half of top earners' environmental impact.

The researchers used the Environmental Prices Handbook 2024 alongside consumption-based footprint data to assign monetary values to environmental damage, drawing on consumption figures from 2017.
