Brazil's Erotic 'Love Motels' Are Getting Ready for UN Climate Change Summit, Report Says

The erotic motels, normally reserved for "lunch-hour trysts, clandestine affairs and passion-struck lovers seeking a few hours of privacy away from cramped family homes," are now getting ready for hosting "diplomats and climate scientists, civil servants and environmental activists," arriving in November for the U.N. climate conference, the Times reported.

The news comes as the 12-day summit, set to draw tens of thousands of attendees [45,000 up to 90,000 all, no doubt traveling by foot and solar-powered bicycles — Ed] to Belém, Brazil, has left the Amazonian city scrambling to meet lodging demands amid unfinished construction and soaring hotel prices. "With less than four months to go, much of the new lodging is still not complete and the city is thousands of beds short of its target," according to the Times.

Local officials faced scrutiny earlier this year for paving over tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest to build a four-lane highway aimed at easing traffic to the climate conference. The deforestation undermines the very purpose of the summit, critics said.

The estimated attendance figure I cite came from an Associated Press article. Day in and day out, the AP spews some of the most duplicitous and often just downright wrong propaganda to be found in the nation’s press. In fact, AP content makes up the bulk of almost all of our local papers’ “news” coverage.

Here’s an example:

This year nearly every nation — the United States, the No. 2 carbon dioxide emitter and historically biggest polluter, withdrew from the accord earlier this year — has to submit their first plan update.

What’s missing from this? The identity of the No. 1 carbon dioxide emitter, and the proportionate contribution of each.
