<span style="font-size: large;">“The impact of human-caused climate change will at first be incremental. Humanity will suffer, but cope. However, there will come a time when these negative impacts – extreme weather disasters, severe food shortages and starvation, epidemics due to emerging vector-borne diseases, mass climate refugee migrations, political upheaval, chaos and violent conflict – will come at so fast a rate and with such severity that humanity's coping capacity will be overwhelmed. And then civilization itself will be threatened with extinction.”</span><br />
