my favorite graffiti i've seen i think was "the wrong amazon is burning"

Peak global capitalism.

The jokes write themselves.

Because hosting it in a place with all the necessary infrastructure already in place would have made too much sense. Like, oh I don't know, that one Brazilian city that recently hosted the World Cup and then the Olympics, both with many orders of magnitude more people attending than a climate conference. No gotta spend a fortune building brand new shit for a once in decades thing.

How much you want to bet this is just an excuse to funnel public money into a private construction firm?

It honestly sometimes starts to feel like they're gloating.
