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.

AI:
Trees “eat” carbon dioxide through a process called photosynthesis, where their leaves use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food (sugars) and release oxygen as a byproduct. This process happens during the day,
and at night, trees also undergo respiration, a process similar to humans, where they use oxygen to break down sugars for energy, releasing carbon dioxide.
Showing that even socialists need capitalism.
Me too!
What a bunch of frauds.
The dead trees were removed in a Yugo……..
Rush would have been all over this one - miss him
Maybe she got Blowed Up

The original Ed Anger from the Weekly World News put out a book titled: “Let’s Pave the Rain Forest and Give Teachers Stun Guns.”
I loved Ed Anger and Weekly World News
Weekly World News was the best
What a joke these climate activists are.
everyone needs to hear this. can hardly believe it was on BBC, tho there was a report yesterday that BBC would be reviewing its “bias” on “climate change”. listen while it’s still available, as a shorter version no longer links to the audio on the”Business Daily” home page:
AUDIO: 17 MINS: 10 Nov: BBC Business Daily: What’s gone wrong with the Dutch power supply?
As the country shifts away from fossil fuels, thousands of homes and businesses have been left on waiting lists to connect to its electricity grid.
Has the Netherlands moved too fast in its switch to renewable energy, like solar, wind and hydropower?
Some commentators are calling it a “grid crisis” – so, could this affect economic growth?
