"[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."

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

A fire erupted at the COP30 climate summit venue in Belém, Brazil, on Thursday around 2 p.m. local time, forcing the evacuation of thousands of delegates from nearly 200 countries who were attending the final days of the U.N. conference.

The blaze started in a country pavilion area near the main entrance of the makeshift convention center built on a former airfield, with flames burning a hole through the tent roof as smoke billowed from the site and panicked attendees fled the building.

Emergency responders contained the fire within approximately 30 minutes with limited damage reported, though some first responders required oxygen masks after inhaling toxic fumes and several people suffered smoke inhalation injuries at the medical center.

Brazilian tourism minister Celso Sabino confirmed no injuries occurred from the fire itself, while U.N. officials stated the venue would reopen after 8 p.m. local time, following safety checks by fire brigade personnel and Brazilian authorities.

The fire disrupted critical negotiations on climate finance, fossil fuel transitions and emissions reduction plans, with Brazilian delegation head Mauricio Lyrio stating his team would likely be unable to return to the site on Thursday.

The incident occurred as U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres had urged delegates earlier that day to reach compromises on key issues, including the $300 billion annual climate finance goal, and detailed fossil fuel transition roadmaps with one day remaining.
