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?

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.

Once again...Exxon's own internal memos acknowledge the reality of Climate Change...
unfortunately, they can't let go of their "Cash Cows"...i.e. Oil & Gas...so the keep on marching toward the awaiting cliff....
Just as real is the 'Finiteness' of FF availability...per BP's estimate, there are ~47 yrs of Proven Oil Reserves remaining at current consumption rates. Even if you can't understand and comprehend Climate Change, the urgency of transitioning to Nuclear and Renewables only intensifies with every passing year...Get on board with the Transition..if only for your kids and grandkids.
Whichever Reality motivates you, there's only one path...the one that doesn't use FFs for Heat and Power.
Exxon didn't cut down this strip of rainforest, climate nuts did.
Which combined with all the emissions that are going to happen to have this conference, shows that it's all a corrupt boondoggle. I am not saying that climate change isn't real or that we shouldn't do anything about it, I am saying that these folks aren't going to fix it.
You can't answer the question: what is the progress towards the goal? Or more likely you know the answer, but you support this anyway.
Glad you accept Climate Change and the need to shift from FFs to Nuclear and appropriate use of
Renewables for Heat and Power...
This is an incredibly complex transition that involves every nation on the planet...that's why people need to come together and keep working on ways to make the needed changes without crashing economies...better than no one talking to others.
Do yourself and everyone in the U.S. a favor by voicing your support for measures to speed our own transition with your Representative and Senators...in concert with other nations, since we import and export Oil and Gas. I'm hoping we can utilize Operations Research, AI, Quantum Computing, and inputs from all involved parties to help Optimize the work to be done....something like a "Manhattan Project" for this much needed transition.
btw, "Drill, Baby, Drill" isn't the answer...and you flatter me by thinking I would have any idea as to how close the world is to achieving the goal of zero man-made CO2 additions to our atmosphere ;-)
Humans are terrible at mitigation but great at innovation.
Humans that go to climate conferences are terrible at mitigation and innovation but good at monetizing a crisis. Maybe you'll see Stacy Abrams there.
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.

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

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.
