100,000 Amazon Trees Chopped Down to Build Road for COP30 Climate Conference

Daily Sceptic:

Spare a thought for the BBC’s Justin Rowlatt as he considers his upcoming trip to the Brazilian city of Belém to report on COP30. Saving the world and its environment is his gig so how will he face the prospect of travelling down a new four-lane highway cut through the dense Amazon rainforest to help speed him and his 70,000 other political activists to their luxury hotels? Based on trees per acre, an estimated 100,000 mature specimens have been chopped down and logged to build the eight-mile Avenida Liberdade causing untold disruption to local wildlife. Happily, all is not lost in despair. If he wishes, the BBC’s activist-in-chief can consider recent findings published in Nature Plants that increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide have led to substantial growth in the remaining Amazon forest, with mature trees growing by over 6% a decade. Perhaps he could start promoting on the BBC the enormous benefits of CO2, rightly known as the gas of life. He could front a campaign to assuage his dented COP conscience along the lines: ‘Forward with Carbon Dioxide, not Chainsaws.’

Needless to say the fatter trees of the Amazon have received little publicity in narrative-driven mainstream media. Extensive Green Blob-funded grooming is deployed to keep this type of inconvenient global ‘greening’ material out of the papers. Little mention is made of the astonishing CO2-fuelled growth in global vegetation seen across the planet in the last 40 years. Increases of around 15% are common, some deserts have started to shrink and world famine has been alleviated by higher crop yields. SciLine is connected with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, publisher of Science, and it recently suggested that writers head off the ‘greening’ story by noting that “in many cases, COdisproportionately favours weeds over crops, causing more problems for agriculture”.

  1. I read that the Chicoms are planning to build a road across the entire Amazon to blunt the Trump takeover of the Panama canal. They want to continue pumping their garbage products into S. America and beyond in case they lose access to the canal route.
    Those vermin are a blight to the entire planet.

  3. Is anyone surprised by this? The answer is not only no, it’s hell no. It is what anyone and everyone expected. The ones participating know full well that the whole charade is designed to be an in your face virtue signal/money laundering operation and the ones not on the take recognize it for what it is.

  4. Find an issue, any issue. Advertise it, make it popular. Array a legion of activists to promote the issue. Use charity to fund you. Appeal to celebrities and the ear of government. More money is the goal. Stuff your pockets with money.

    Anti-nuke, save the whales, save the Harp seals, the polar bear, the spotted owl. Overfishing, the rain forest, recycling, solar energy, hydrocarbons. Global cooling, I mean warming, I mean climate change.

    More money. It’s a business. Shell companies es, offshore accounts, layers of NGOs. Money, money, money.

    The issue was never the issue. It only is about the money. It always has been.
