Tens of thousands of trees in the heart of the Amazon rainforest have been wiped out to prepare for a global summit on saving the environment.
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump slammed the creation of a multi-lane highway that tore straight through the ancient rainforest for this month’s COP30 climate summit.
Approximately 100,000 trees across eight miles have been removed to ferry 50,000 world leaders, climate change activists, journalists, and other high-profile guests to the conference in Belém, Brazil.
“They ripped the hell out of the Rainforest of Brazil to build a four-lane highway for Environmentalists to travel. It’s become a big scandal!” Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday.
While the White House has not sent a formal delegation to the event, which began on Monday, several left-leaning US officials, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, will be in Brazil. […]
Meanwhile, outrage over the bulldozing of the Amazon has been flooding into social media, with both climate advocates and skeptics pointing out the hypocrisy of cutting down thousands of trees for cars to reach a summit discussing deforestation.

When I first saw this, I was convinced it was The Bee.
It’s never really about the Environment. It’s always about the revolution.
What say gabbin Gavin who was whining that Pres Trump wasn’t attending this debacle?
Could have just had a nice zoom call to save all the fuel flying everyone to the summit
Climate “Activist”??
Climate “Leader”??
Climate HOAXERS
There, fixed it.
This would make one heckuva good time & place to test a 15kT nuke.
They clear more than that for wind mills
To make an omelette you must break a few eggs. Those trees gave their lives to help save the planet.
It’s never really about the Environment. It’s always about the revolution.
Doo-doo-doo, za-da-do-do-wow!
There’s a place called the rainforest that truly sucks ass
Let’s knock it all down and get rid of it fast
You say “save the rainforest”, but what do you know?
You’ve never been to the rainforest before!
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To tell you things you might not like to hear
You only fight these causes ‘cos caring sells
All you activists can go f___ yourselves.
Someday if we work hard boys and girls..
There’ll be no more rainforests left in the entire world (world!)
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To spread the word, and bring you cheer
Getting Gay with Kids is here
Let’s knock down the rainforest, whaddaya say?
It’s totally gay
It’s totally gay!
But let's look at some anyway ...
It must have been a pretty impressive omelet to require that many broken “eggs”!
Money and control, not always in that order. You are correct.
Hahahaha.
Battle of Ben Tre, Jan. 31, 1968, quote from an unnamed American Major, reported by journalist Peter Arnett, that,
“It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.”
Wally Cronkite or Peter Arnett: which was the biggest douche nozzle?
But we won’t see any reporters repeating this apocryphal quote, applied to the climate warriors & the rain forest.
It’s all so tiresome.
Gavin is shedding tears for those trees, climate change & such.
Everybody else is rolling their eyes and saying we’re aren’t repeating the Palisades Fire fiasco........ Governor.
My cynical mind suspects that somebody wanted a big highway into the heart of the rain forest for reasons other than a “Climate Conference” and when the environmentalists are gone there will be heavy truck traffic coming and going hauling whatever makes money.
