Nothing says “we’re totally concerned with ‘climate change’ and it is totally not about Elites trying to be Authoritarians” like this
Amazon Forest Cleared for Road to Carry Globalist Elites to Climate Summit
A new four-lane highway requiring the decimation of tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built to carry globalist elites to the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.
The BBC reports the aim is to ease vehicle traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people – including world leaders – at the U.N. sponsored conference in November.
COP30 will also see the usual thousands of attendees flying in for the occasion.
Critics are quick to point out the sheer hypocrisy of this deforestation as it contradicts the claimed purpose of a climate summit. The BBC report notes:
Along the partially built road, lush rainforest towers on either side – a reminder of what was once there. Logs are piled high in the cleared land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles) through the rainforest into Belém.
Diggers and machines carve through the forest floor, paving over wetland to surface the road which will cut through a protected area.
So, COP29 in 2024 was held in the petro-state of Azerbaijan, for which the roughly 40k people attending had to fly or drive in using a fossil fueled vehicle. Taking the train was mostly out of the question, and, even try to take an EV would have been impossible. COP28 was also in the petro-state of Dubai. COP27 was held in Egypt, in the luxury resort of Sharm El-Sheikh. And people had to take lots of fossil fueled trips. Now we have Brazil, for which tens of thousands will take a fossil fueled trip, mostly planes.
Belem has inter-city rail, but, no connections to cities outside of the Belem. But, it does have an international airport. Will any of the climate nuts take sailing vessels to the ports? How many of the private jets will need to be deadheaded (flying without passengers) to other airports in Brazil?
Adler Silveira, the state government’s infrastructure secretary, listed this highway as one of 30 projects happening in the city to “prepare” and “modernise” it, so “we can have a legacy for the population and, more importantly, serve people for COP30 in the best possible way”.
Speaking to the BBC, he said it was a “sustainable highway” and an “important mobility intervention.”
Yes, cutting down thousands of acres of jungle is definitely sustainable. From that BBC article
Claudio Verequete lives about 200m from where the road will be. He used to make an income from harvesting açaí berries from trees that once occupied the space.
“Everything was destroyed,” he says, gesturing at the clearing.
“Our harvest has already been cut down. We no longer have that income to support our family.”
He says he has received no compensation from the state government and is currently relying on savings.
They are not concerned with the climate. Or the little people.
