"[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?

Climate change is not a conspiracy theory, and Japan's own weather agency proves it. Record-shattering rainfall of 367 mm in 24 hours, sewers backing up, and level 4 danger alerts show that the old faith in flood-proof cities no longer holds, while extreme downpours have grown roughly 1.5 to 1.8 times more frequent over the past four decades. Adapting to a more extreme era is now the only responsible choice.

Blaming every violent storm on warming ignores what typhoon records actually show. Counts of storms forming, approaching and striking Japan peaked between 1951 and 1970 and have declined since 2001; there is no meaningful change in average minimum pressure, no rise in super typhoons and no lengthening of the season. Policy built on alarmist assumptions deserves real skepticism.
