| If by "existential threat" you mean a threat to existence, there are already many species going extinct today, which is why it is said we are in a 6th mass extinction: https://earth.org/data_visualization/the-6th-mass-extinction... Droughts and floods are also affecting many parts of the world today. And "At 2°C of global warming, heat extremes would more often reach critical tolerance thresholds for agriculture and health, the report shows:" (IPCC) https://www.ipcc.ch/2021/08/09/ar6-wg1-20210809-pr/ Beyond 2C and nearing 4C, the extreme events are expected to yield larger crop failures and migration events. The US military has also called climate change "a serious threat", stating "while extreme weather events and rising sea levels threaten infrastructure and economic output, trigger large-scale population displacement, migration and exacerbate food and water insecurity." https://www.army.mil/standto/archive/2021/05/14/ And the Defense secretary did call it existential: https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/25... So it does seem fairly existential to me. How exactly is this being nuanced? I have also only linked respectable sources above. All of that being said, I also share the opinion from others above that a single corporation unilaterally deciding what is or not acceptable speech should be unacceptable. |
