Cutting down some rainforest for the climate summit.
Wondering what the full carbon footprint will be for the COP30 summit.
Nobody is gullible enough to think "we" actually care about climate change, right?

The climate has been changing since the Earth was formed
It's the SUN, baby. Man has so little to do with it. Ask the First Ice Age.
But govt. can funnel money to friends to make things "green"
The intellectual vacuum of MAGAs is astounding...even Exxon knew decades ago that CC is being
If Exxon cut down rain forest to build a road to an oil well, I think you'd have a problem with that
But if we're having a summit on climate change, from which no solutions will happen, you're good with it.
Best summarized with Voltaire's aphorism..."Perfect is the Enemy of Good"
"Perfect is the enemy of good is an aphorism that means insistence on perfection often prevents implementation of good improvements. Achieving absolute perfection may be impossible; one should not let the struggle for perfection stand in the way of appreciating or executing on something that is imperfect but still of value."
As we proceed through this Transition, we'll still be flying Fossil Fuel Burning Jet Planes, and cutting down trees for houses and roads, as we bring on Heat and Power Sources like Nuclear and Renewables...that will also in turn power the creation of Hydrogen products that don't produce CO2...take some time to look toward the future your kids and grandkids will be living in.

I am asking where the good is, what's the progress towards the goal.
You're arguing that we can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs, I'm asking where's the omelet.
Hard to say, what with all the roadblocks being created by CC deniers...

COP was started 30 years ago, what is our progress towards reduced emissions?

Send an email to COP and ask them …I don’t keep the records, Cheeks.

If they are going to destroy rainforest, it should be for a good purpose, no?

Dude, that's an 8 mile long highway strip...a sq. mile of forest absorbs ~4K tons of CO2/yr...check
the link for how much CO2 a Fossil Fuel Plant puts into the atmosphere...
Not sure you could pass a kindergarten quiz on which thing is bigger than another ;-)
And people wonder why we have Trump in office...

They could have chosen anywhere in the world to have the conference.
Or, they could have chosen to have it virtually which would have saved on emissions.

You're right, the sun has suddenly kicked in. That's just science.

You display a lot of ignorance with this post.
Do you really think the climate hasn't changed?
Why has the Earth been warming recently?...and by "recently," I mean the last 18,000 years, since well before man started doing anything...before there were 10 million humans on earth...some estimate far fewer, possibly 1 million or less.
The oceans have been rising all that time. England & Ireland were "recently" part of mainland Europe, and Alaska was a part of Asia (the "land bridge" was a thousand miles wide. Again, all of that before an industry by man.
This is well settled historical science.
The sun didn't suddenly start up, but the tilt and changing orbit might have been a factor in how the sun's energy affected Earth. Ice cores show that the earth's climate has never been in a steady state.
The "Ignorance" is all yours, Ned...not having a tech degree is no excuse...read on...
...Ice Ages and Thaws took place within the CO2 atmospheric concentrations of 180 - 300 ppm...within the last ~150 yrs we're now over 425 ppm...and rising rapidly...plus, it takes generations for the CO2 to come out of the atmosphere acidifying oceans...etc, etc.

So you admit what I said was correct.

So you have reading comprehension issues as well as CC ignorance...who knew?

No, you’re right. The sun kicked in. In unprecedented ways. Just a coincidence about the CO2.

Feel free to deny the science on obit and orbital tilt. No one said the sun kicked in but you.

Now that article is a prime example of Anti-CC hysteria...get out your Google Maps and see if you
can find the roadway when looking at all of Brazil. The world is in a Transition from Fossil Fuels for Heat and Power, to Nuclear Power and Renewable Energy Sources. You haven't even accepted Climate Change and you worry about an 8 mile roadway in the forest...basically, you have no sense of proportion...or understanding of physics.
What is the progress towards the goal?
