"[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?

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo declared a state of emergency in Washoe County and mobilized the Nevada National Guard, deploying two helicopter crews and 60 troops to support aerial firefighting and help police safeguard evacuated neighborhoods.

Officials confirmed the Hawk Fire was human-caused but said the investigation remained active and no further details on how it ignited had been released. At least six people — three civilians and three first responders — were injured.

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.

Nearly all Washoe County schools canceled classes Monday, around 10,000 utility customers were without power, and portions of U.S. Route 395 were closed. Northwest Specialty Hospital evacuated patients as a precaution, and two other hospitals also evacuated patients.

The Hawk Fire was the third major wildfire to strike northern Nevada in recent weeks, following the Bug Fire and Stallion Fire. On Saturday alone, 15 new fires ignited across Nevada amid months of dry weather and a record lack of snow across the American West.

Mass evacuation and school cancellations are the only sane call. A human-caused, wind-driven fire at zero containment, with six injuries and homes already burned, makes convenience irrelevant. Clear roads, empty classrooms and early exits save lives.

Reno should not shut down beyond the danger zone. Keep campus, airports and shelters working while crews attack the fire and residents leave early. Calm readiness, full gas tanks and targeted evacuations beat blanket panic.
