"[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."

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

The fire's rapid spread was driven by wind gusts exceeding 40 mph, low humidity and dry vegetation. Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said the blaze moved "exceptionally fast" Saturday night, jumping over fire trucks and sending flames in multiple directions as winds shifted.
