"[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?

Hurricane Polo weakened to a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds near 150 mph on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, after peaking a day earlier. Forecasters said intensity fluctuations were expected in the days ahead.

Hurricane Polo weakened to a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds near 150 mph on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, after peaking a day earlier. Forecasters said intensity fluctuations were expected in the days ahead.

Polo was located roughly 165 miles south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, on Wednesday, moving slowly north before a forecast sharp turn to the northwest. Hurricane-force winds extended up to 40 miles from its center, the hurricane center said.

The storm reached Category 5 strength Tuesday with winds of 180 mph, tying Super Typhoons Bavi and Sinlaku as the Northern Hemisphere's strongest storm this year, according to Colorado State University researcher Philip Klotzbach.

Polo's winds rose by 110 mph in 24 hours, from a 50 mph tropical storm Monday to 160 mph Tuesday morning. The National Hurricane Center called the rate "truly remarkable" and among the fastest recorded in the Eastern Pacific.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Polo was not expected to make landfall but urged Pacific coast residents to stay vigilant. The navy closed ports in Guerrero and Michoacan, and classes were suspended in several coastal areas Tuesday.

Forecasters predicted 3 to 6 inches of rain for Guerrero and Michoacan through Thursday, with isolated totals of 8 inches, and 2 to 4 inches for Oaxaca, Colima and Jalisco. Life-threatening flooding and mudslides were possible in steep terrain.
