You can’t make this up. In an act that environmentalists are calling peak irony, Brazil has bulldozed 8 miles of the Amazon rainforest—arguably the planet’s most vital carbon sink—to pave the way for a highway leading to COP30, the world’s largest climate summit. Officials claim the road was part of a pre-approved infrastructure project, but satellite data shows deforestation in May skyrocketed by 92% compared to the same period last year. Critics are slamming the move as greenwashing on a global stage. Not only does it send the wrong message about Brazil’s climate priorities, but experts also warn it could accelerate illegal logging, fragment habitats, and worsen fire risks across the Amazon basin. The big question: are we really serious about climate action—or just staging it for the cameras? #AmazonRainforest #ClimateSummit #Deforestation #Greenwashing #Brazil
