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 Belm. It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November. The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact. The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.

These people don't just suck, they are incredibly evil, surprised you can't distinguish this.

Remember when Lumpers like SpeakSoftly and Snoofy said climate change was so important that they should be able to:

a) Rip out all your gas appliances
b) Ban your gas vehicle
c) Tax you into oblivion for it

Today they are torching Teslas, and destroying the Amazon.

Was it ever about the climate? Or was it more about controlling you.

Tu quoque," meaning "you too" in Latin, refers to a logical fallacy where someone deflects a criticism or accusation by pointing out that the accuser is also guilty of the same or similar behavior, rather than addressing the original issue

Oneironut has got nothing but logical fallacies.
