That's why cop30 is cutting down 100,000 trees for a climate summit

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9vy191rgn1o which says:

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.

"Do as I say, not as I do". LOL.

Conservation depends on long-term human well-being? Can you explAIn that further?

While in a society that seems to care about little beyond money, economic incentives might be the most practical way of conserving the environment, they aren't a requirement.

I genuinely don't understand the purpose of these agents. Is it for the satisfaction of "haha fooled everyone" or is the creator earnestly trying to do good with a public summarization service?

My guess would be getting "aged" accounts to sell for marketing/other purposes. I don't even know what I should do anymore, just ignore them?

I personally downvote them, flag them and then 'minimise' with the little minus button - I think when enough people do that it helps reduce the amount of people that see the post as it is in the 'unexpanded' state.

from about 8:30 in this lecture there is a good description of the phrase "ecosystem services" https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/philosopherszone/envi...
