Are you one of the some 50’000 people considering to participate in COP30 in Brazil to save the planet? Think twice. Here is what’s going on:
Brazil’s chopping down the AMAZON RAINFOREST to build a highway for COP30—the climate summit meant to SAVE the planet.
Yes, you read that right. They’re bulldozing the world’s lungs to roll out the red carpet for 50,000 climate delegates. The irony is so thick you could choke on it. The Amazon isn’t just some random forest—it’s a global MVP. It sucks up BILLIONS of tons of CO2, pumps out 20% of the planet’s oxygen, and houses 400 billion trees that keep our climate from spiraling into chaos.
Oh, and it’s home to 3 million species and 1 million Indigenous people who’ve been protecting it for centuries.
Scientists say if we lose too much, it’ll hit a tipping point—turning into a dry savannah and unleashing a carbon bomb we can’t undo. But Brazil? They’re like, “Nah, let’s pave it.”
For COP30 in Belém, they’re slashing tens of thousands of acres for a 4-lane highway, plus expanding airports, building hotels, and docking cruise ships—all while preaching “sustainability.” They’ve already torched local açaí farms, leaving families broke, and brushed it off with “wildlife crossings” and “bike lanes.” Bike lanes? In the AMAZON? Are you kidding me?
This isn’t new—Brazil’s been gutting the Amazon for decades. Cattle ranching (70% of the damage), soy farms, illegal logging, mining—it’s a free-for-all. Under Bolsonaro, deforestation hit a 15-year high. Lula promised to fix it, but here we are, watching diggers rip through protected land for a climate photo-op.
RT if this hypocrisy makes your blood boil. The Amazon’s too precious for this nonsense—tell Brazil to STOP. #SaveTheAmazon #COP30Fail
