Thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest cleared to build highway for UN climate summit

Nope, this isn't The Babylon Bee.

From the BBC:

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 Belém.

It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November.

COP30 is the official United Nations conference on climate change.

And they need a 4-lane highway cut through protected rainforest so all the elites can avoid traffic.

(After flying there on a fleet of private jets, of course.)

I simply don't see how satire can compete with reality anymore.

The world's top environmental leaders are going to assemble to lecture the rest of us about driving minivans after cutting down an entire section of protected rainforest.

It's just TOO on the nose!

Along the partially built road, lush rainforest towers on either side - a reminder of what was once there. Logs are piled high in the cleared land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles) through the rainforest into Belém.

Diggers and machines carve through the forest floor, paving over wetland to surface the road which will cut through a protected area.

I never want to be lectured by the globalist dweebs ever again.
