"[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."

Indigenous protesters violently stormed the COP30 climate summit, injuring security guards and causing property damage in an unacceptable breach of international diplomatic protocols. Security personnel were attacked with heavy drumsticks and batons, leaving guards bloodied and requiring medical evacuation. This dangerous escalation turned what should be peaceful climate negotiations into chaos and undermines legitimate diplomatic processes.

Chaos at COP30 as indigenous protesters force their way into climate summit and clash with security guards

Indigenous communities courageously demanded their rightful voice at COP30 after being systematically excluded from decisions affecting their ancestral lands. These desperate defenders of the Amazon forced entry because world leaders continue destroying forests while holding endless talks that ignore those who best protect the planet. Their action exposes the hypocrisy of climate summits that welcome fossil fuel lobbyists but shut out Indigenous peoples.

Indigenous protesters voiced their frustrations at the COP30 climate summit, leading to confrontations with security personnel that resulted in injuries and some property damage. While it is crucial to have dialogue on climate issues, these actions unintentionally disrupted the diplomatic atmosphere needed for meaningful negotiations. It is essential to address the underlying concerns through constructive dialogue to ensure that future discussions can proceed peacefully and productively.
