Well, turns out something interesting did happen at COP30.
Brazil has a LOT of electrical issues.
It is also pretty expensive to import appropriate gear, and it shows.
Between a sort of disregard for electrical safety, hordes of animals chewing on wires, and the difficulty of importing modern electrical equipment, it is an electrical nightmare.
It doesn’t help that a lot of electrical generation is modern, there is a lot of electricity available, but the actual application of it in last mile is atrocious.
All this to say it is of no surprise an electrical fire occurred, if that is the cause.
Oh this is dark. But kinda funny, too. My twisted sense of humour.
“A number of country delegations were forced to take shelter outside under the roof of a petrol station, a member of the UK delegation told the BBC. He said the fire halted negotiations”
Not The Onion.
COP30 but the fire does not halt negotiations

Prime Not The Onion material. I had to do a double take
If it was arson it makes sense.
If it wasn’t arson it was poetic nonetheless.
