100,000 Amazon Trees Chopped Down to Build Road for COP30 Climate Conference – The Daily Sceptic

100,000 Amazon rainforest trees have been chopped down to build a road for COP30. But all is not lost, says Chris Morrison, as CO2 is making the trees bigger! Not that you'll hear about this in the mainstream media.

Daily skeptic - not just right wing; a downright quackery site.

Those few dozen fatter trees? Do they make up for the deforestation the size of France?

Well...

If you do the math, you get...

Assuming the clearing is about 350 feet wide, 8 miles of clearing this forest at 100,000 trees equals one tree every 144 square feet (a 12' x 12' area). Now, that's dense!
Given that there are about 200 to 400 trees per acre, somehow this road has roughly double to quadruple the density of trees of the rest of the Amazon rain forest...

:rolleyes:
 
It doesn't stop there though. Once you've cleared the trees then more trees will be cleared, more construction and more people move in.

So, it's more likely they cut down about 25,000 trees to build this road through what was prior to Columbus an open forest and savannah...
