Hypocrites: Rainforest Decimated to Build Mega Road for COP 30 UN Climate Change Summit

COP30

The global climate change elite often call for responsible resource management and advocate for the Green New Deal. Yet, as they push for stricter environmental policies on the world, they engage in actions that blatantly contradict their stated principles. The latest hypocrisy?

A four-lane mega-highway is being built through the Amazon rainforest to accommodate attendees of COP 30—the upcoming UN Climate Change Summit.


A Massive Contradiction in Environmental Policy

In anticipation of world leaders arriving in November, the BBC reports that this new highway is cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest. The road, stretching over 13 kilometers (8 miles), is being paved through lush rainforest, destroying habitats and ecosystems in its wake.

Logs are piled high along the partially built road in the cleared land, a stark reminder of what was once there. Dredgers and machines carve through wetlands, permanently altering the ecosystem. This destruction is unfolding in a protected area that should be safeguarded against such massive deforestation.

Wildlife experts warn that this deforestation fragments ecosystems, displaces countless species, and permanently alters the rainforest’s natural balance. Land animals will struggle to migrate, reducing their ability to breed and thrive.

All this destruction is happening while the Brazilian government claims the summit will “protect” the Amazon. How does bulldozing tens of thousands of acres of pristine rainforest serve conservation?

Hypocrisy in Action

The hypocrisy doesn’t stop at environmental destruction. These same climate elites:

  • Travel to summits on private jets, emitting over 1,000 tons of CO2 per event.

  • Propose banning meat consumption, claiming livestock contribute to climate change—yet they feast on luxury meats at these events, including smoked Wagyu burgers, Philly cheesesteaks, and melt-in-your-mouth barbecue.

  • Push for “net zero” policies that harm farmers and small businesses while large corporations continue polluting without consequences.

If these summits were truly about saving the planet, they could be conducted via Zoom, reducing emissions and travel waste. But instead, they insist on extravagant in-person gatherings because they are all about power, optics, and money.


The Agenda Behind It All

This latest stunt reveals what many have suspected for years:

  • The globalist climate agenda is about control, not conservation.

  • Their policies cripple economies and reduce individual freedoms while the elite remain unaffected.

  • Their solutions often do more harm than good, as seen with this destruction of the Amazon rainforest.

  • The same people who lecture the world on reducing emissions and “going green” actively destroy the environment for their own convenience.

These technocrats demand that the average person stop eating meat and limit their travel, while they privately dine on expensive meats and belch thousands of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. It’s a giant scam, the greatest grift in modern history, and now they’re literally paving over paradise to scold you about your carbon footprint.


What Can We Do?

  1. Question Everything – Don’t accept their narratives at face value. Investigate the motives behind their policies.

  2. Speak Out – Share the truth about these contradictions and call out hypocrisy when you see it.

  3. Support Ethical Stewardship – True environmental care aligns with Biblical principles of stewardship, not power-driven agendas.

The Amazon’s destruction for a climate summit is yet another example of elites manipulating narratives while ignoring their own rules. It’s time to hold them accountable.
