The infrastructure required to host COP30 in Belém is undermining the cause, campaigners say.

It’s kind of worse when you see it on the map, because it appears to be running parallel to an existing developed area, like they built a bypass through the rainforest for the climate summit, not a road for someplace previously unconnected.

    Tell that to the millions of people that suffered for scorching temperatures last year. Even just last week classes were suspended for some parts in our country due to a high heat index (humidity played a large factor but temperatures really are reaching dangerous levels for the past years) and it’s not even summer here right now.

      What does what other people experienced have to do with me seeing changes in weather?

      My point, which went so far over your head that you’d need a telescope to see it, was that I have to trust the experts. When those experts clear the rainforest to make a road from the city to their lair it erodes that trust.
