BBC- Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit
A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.
It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people – including world leaders – at the conference in November.

Let’s see … the brave, brave, Canadian politicians were going to CLOSE DOWN the Alaskan highway to the US … because Orangemanbad or something.
Can’t your brave, brave, “net zero” … “green” … politicians SHUT DOWN that road through the pristine rainforest?
Awesome!! Progress!
Been there. Not much is “pristine” in that part of the world.
I’ve GOT to stop watching the BBC and David Attenborough… they insist it’s pristine. Well … except for the McDonalds Corp. beef farms … (sic)
Well, after all, the road is being built to accommodate World Leaders and the rest of the 50k world elites who are known to be committed to green energy. Maybe the highway will be restricted to EVs only.
Was there any mention of how many thousands of acres will be cleared for runways to handle all the private airplanes?
It will be used twice – once to get the delegates there and again to bring them back to the airports.
I have seen photos of what happens in the jungle after man has built roads or buildings and let me tell you, Mother Nature is a mean old bitch. Within 10 years, maybe 20 years, this will all be gone if it is not maintained.
I didn’t think there was any rainforest left!
Some years back weren’t areas equal to the size of Britain being cleared yearly?
The environmental people said that.
And they never lie!
Do they??
Youse guys just have no imagination!
They can build either a 15 minute city there, or that big ‘rehabilitation camp’ for us U.N. / W.E.F. / N.W.O. enemies!!! You know, the one with the industrial-sized composters big enough for incorrigible reprobates to be thrown into; thus providing recycling blood and bone to help all those poor plants and animals…
Yeah, fkkk the trees. Including the billion or so that Fidelito promised to plant.
Do you think Marx Carney will get any of Justine’s promises completed? El Turdo didn’t get anything done except for ruin…
Hahahaha *coupla deep breaths* hahahaha *coughing laughing spewing beer* you cant make this shit up
I wish they would quit copying South Park episodes.
I suggest the new road be named Sunny Ways Drive or Carney Chute
Is anyone surprised?
Based on their actions,Gang Green’s motto should be ;”Death to the Trees”.
As they have caused the destruction of more forests than commercial loggers.
Face it, their first commandment; “Thou must restrict CO2” as plant-life is near starving.
Tells you all you needed to know.
Biology must have been way down the Planet Savers list of priorities.
More modern A.I..
Arrogant Incompetence
What is it, a lousy 15km of road by 100m in cleared width or 150 hectares out of the Amazon rainforest of 670,000,000 hectares? The BBC is green hysteria 24/7/365.
The difference is the COP hacks build the road for themselves, but a life saving road for locals in Alaska they’ll quash. At least until Trump got back in power.
