“Around 60 nations are gathering in Santa Marta, Colombia as the world warms rapidly, mainly from the use of coal, …”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies 'Around 60 nations are gathering in Santa Marta, Colombia' and attributes global warming 'mainly from the use of coal.' While Wikipedia confirms Colombia's location and the web search results provide general definitions and location data for Colombia, none of the provided evidence confirms the specific gathering of 'Around 60 nations' in Santa Marta, nor does any source definitively state that global warming is *mainly* attributed to coal in the context of this specific event. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate the core event details.
