Are we gonna pretend this is being hosted in the middle of virgin rainforest and not in a large city? And that the summit is the only reason someone would make a road?

Terrible headline that only serves to further anti-climate agenda

You're right, they should have built the road through the city by demolishing black neighborhoods like they do the the good ol US of A.

The main cause of deforestation isn't urban development. It's cattle, animal feed and mining.
