Climate Change Cultists Cut Down an Amazon Rainforest to Build a Road for Their Climate Summit

So, you are one of those nutty, commie-red climate change high priests and you have a climate summit in the Amazon to attend. And how to you get there? Well, apparently, you cut down a forest to make a road for your gas-guzzling, armored SUVs to drive on.

No, this is not a joke…. well, it IS a joke, but it isn’t supposed to be. Because that is exactly what is happening in Brazil right now.

The forest is being felled to build a four-lane highway so attendees of the upcoming COP30 climate summit will be able to get to the Brazilian city of Belém, the BBC reported.

The new road will run through a formerly protected 8-mile swath of the rainforest to build the road to better reach Belém, all so the Cop summit attendees can have quicker access to the conference site.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Worse, the new highway has split two large sections of the forest into two sections, meaning the animal life is no longer connected through the area and are at risk to being run down by the cars that will travel the road.

“Land animals will no longer be able to cross to the other side too, reducing the areas where they can live and breed,” said Professor Silvia Sardinha, a wildlife vet and researcher at a local university animal hospital.

The forest road had been proposed before, but was always shot down for environmental reasons. But now that has suddenly been thrown out the window. The forest road, though, is not the only big construction project for the summit.

Per the BBC:

Now a host of infrastructure projects have been resurrected or approved to prepare the city for the COP summit.

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”.

Some folks that actually live in Belém are thrilled over the rebuilding of their town and the road that will connect them better to the rest of Brazil. They say their isolation has led to stagnation for their town. But with the attention the summit is bringing, they are getting a new lease on life.

In the end, of course, this all just shows the hypocrisy of these people.
