COP30 climate talks evacuated after fire breaks out
bbc ^ | 11-20-25 | Georgina Rannard and BBC climate team,

The UN climate talks COP30 have been evacuated due to a fire breaking out inside the venue in Belém, Brazil.

BBC journalists saw flames and smoke in the pavilion area before they were rushed outside where fire engines raced past.

The UN said the fire was extinguished after six minutes and 13 people were treated for smoke inhalation. It is not yet known what caused the blaze.

The talks were in the final hours of trying to agree on next steps to tackle climate change but the fire has disrupted negotiations and the talks remain closed.

Wow! That’s a little heavy handed on the warming propaganda. Did Gore’s chakra explode?

My personal guess is that some crazy leftist set up the fire.

The arsonist probably thought in his/her/them/their/? crazy mind that COP30 is still not doing enough.

So, I guess it is a case of give them an inch and them taking a mile.

Reminds me of a few years ago. Greta Thunberg traveled to the city where this event was held. But she refused to go inside to attend the meeting. She claimed not enough was being done, so there was no point to her being there.

Then she spoke to a group out in the streets, saying how real change happens in the streets, not in meeting halls, etc.

Caused by Climate Change, no doubt. It’s worse than they thought.

Yes, you just know the whole incident will be blamed on “climate change”.
