The hypocrisy of building motorway in the rain forest

Yorkshire Evening Post

November 18, 2025

One of the COP's chosen subjects was “support the rainforests”. Are the COP30 delegates hypocrites?

The reason I write that is, Brazil built a four lane six mile long motorway through the Amazon rain forest just to shepherd the delegates to the conference centre.

Surely removing such a huge amount of rainforest was unwarranted, a different venue could so easily have been chosen.

I wonder if anyone else thinks that the COP circus is about extracting money from the richer countries?
