What benefit does the American taxpayer get for funding the UN and having to put up with this shit? Seems like the US feminists are more interested in getting men into women sports and girls bathrooms than telling the UN to piss up a rope.
Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit

Drone shots show scale of Amazon deforestation for COP30 road
A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.
It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November.
The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact.
The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.
Along the partially built road, lush rainforest towers on either side - a reminder of what was once there. Logs are piled high in the cleared land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles) through the rainforest into Belém.
Diggers and machines carve through the forest floor, paving over wetland to surface the road which will cut through a protected area.
Got a resource you can share on that claim about being designed for airplane hits? I searched for long enough to believe that this statement is not true and is something that Pete Carroll would believe.
The World Trade Center's Twin Towers were indeed designed to withstand aircraft impacts, but the ensuing fires, exacerbated by the jet fuel, ultimately led to their collapse, not the initial impact itself. Here's a more detailed explanation:
Design for Aircraft Impact:The towers were designed to withstand a collision from a Boeing 707, a common large airliner at the time.

I can teach you how to use it.
How many have been directly hit by jet airliners?
They were designed to take aircraft hits. A fact you may not have known.

50,000 air travelers to Brazil to save the rainforest and the planet. You can tell how much they care and it certainly isn't a grift.

We have many here…

I think it was for small aircraft

A 707 is not a 767 fully loaded with cross country fuel
I hated Bush too ftr.
It's certainly not a Cessna 152 either. It is a large aircraft. The buildings were designed to withstand it.
Not even close to the same... and popular mechanics already did all the science... you just put your head in the ground and ignore it
