"[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?

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, speaking at a cabinet meeting Tuesday, called the heat wave a national disaster and ordered officials to mobilize resources to protect the public and inspect power systems amid surging demand for air conditioning.

Seoul activated more than 4,000 cooling centers at community, senior and welfare facilities, while a fleet of water-spraying trucks operated up to six times daily on major roads to reduce urban heat.

The Korea Meteorological Administration attributed the heat wave to overlapping high-pressure systems over the Korean peninsula and clear skies, with the foehn effect intensifying temperatures in southeastern regions before shifting heat westward toward Seoul.
