      This is the age of full-spectrum political hype, with everyone crying wolf, day and night. Don’t be surprised when voters tune everyone out.https://twitter.com/MrWalterShapiro/status/1138541701340028931 …

      Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
      This is the Jean-Paul Sartre campaign. Buttigieg this morning: climate change is "an existential threat." Biden this afternoon: Trump is an "existential threat." Inslee press release: "climate crisis as an existential threat." Maybe I should just read "Being and Nothingness."

      According to consensus science, climate really is an existential threat, at least for our children and grandchildren.

          An existential threat threatens existence. Human beings are not on the verge of going extinct in the next half century and there is and could be no science to “prove” otherwise.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @DamonLinker

          Those who take issue with this term being applied to the climate crisis, anything short of the realistic near-term extinction doesn't qualify. But the term comes from existentialism, which was concerned not with the risk to existence but the meaning of it.

          Replying to @dwallacewells @HeerJeet @DamonLinker

          One could also make a strong case that the "existence" under threat is that of our current civilization, social order, etc. (Which may amount to more or less the same thing as the "meaning" of our existence.)

          "Consensus science" is a made-up term that means nothing. Science isn't about consensus.
