Yeah, on its face that seems counter to the goal. Did someone math it out and figure that cutting down that many square acres would result in less reclaimed carbon than the amount that would have been emitted by so many people travelling to that destination via other routes?

ChatGPT> why did brazil cut down thousands of acres of rain forest for a highway to the un climate summit?

​In preparation for hosting the COP30 UN climate summit in November 2025, the Brazilian state of Pará initiated the construction of a four-lane highway, Avenida Liberdade, in Belém. This project has led to the clearing of approximately eight miles of the Amazon rainforest, raising significant environmental concerns. ​thetimes.com

The primary objective of Avenida Liberdade is to alleviate traffic congestion in Belém, especially with the anticipated influx of attendees for the summit. The state government asserts that the highway's construction is unrelated to COP30, emphasizing that the project commenced in 2020, prior to Belém's selection as the summit's venue. ​

Despite official statements, many locals and conservationists believe that the urgency of COP30 preparations has accelerated the project's progress. The highway cuts through protected rainforest areas, leading to the destruction of tens of thousands of acres, which has disrupted local livelihoods and threatened biodiversity. ​

Critics argue that constructing a highway through the Amazon rainforest for a climate summit is counterproductive, highlighting the irony of causing environmental harm while preparing for an event focused on environmental conservation. ​

In summary, while the official stance is that the highway construction is intended to improve infrastructure and is not directly linked to COP30, the timing and environmental impact have led to widespread criticism and concerns about the project's alignment with the summit's environmental objectives.

No, it's because they're fucking hypocrites. How are you this fucking naive that you even have to ask?

This could have all been done over Zoom or some shit if they really cared about the environment. Just like every other year where they fly their private jets all over the place so that when they land they can lecture everyone else about how they need to make "sacrifices" for the "environment."

I bet someone made a fortune off of you in high school selling oregano.

Yes, the math has been done:

Trump continues to alienate allies..

SAN JOSE, April 1 (Reuters) - Former Costa Rican President and Nobel Prize winner Oscar Arias said on Tuesday that the U.S. had revoked his visa to enter the country, weeks after he criticized U.S. President Donald Trump on social media saying he was behaving like "a Roman emperor."

Arias, 84, was president between 1986 and 1990 and again between 2006 and 2010. A self-declared pacifist, he won the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering peace during the Central American conflicts of the 1980s.

His statements came after the U.S. withdrew visas from three Costa Rican lawmakers who opposed Chaves' decision to exclude Chinese firms from participating in the development of 5G in the country, following U.S. demands. On Tuesday, another opposition lawmaker was also stripped of her U.S. visa.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had in early February visited Costa Rica and offered to help Chaves "punish" Costa Rican officials who collaborate with "foreign actors who pose a threat to the country's cybersecurity."
