For the upcoming Summer Olympics, Paris decided that, for the sake of Climate Change, they were not going to be installing Air Conditioning in the Olympic Village, but instead use fans, pumping cold water, and other methods for cooling.
In response, at a minimum the German, Australian, Italian, Canadian, British and now American all said "Screw that, we're just going to bring our own portable AC units with us"
Apparently the governments of all those countries consider athletic performance more important than "saving the planet". Who would have guessed?
It might actually be health concerns as you have people pushing their bodies to the limits for this competition and so why risk them even further to grandstand on an issue that is getting more unpopular thanks to activists?
I get the hypocrisy of the portable AC units, but we gotta recognise the retardation of the French setting it up like this.
