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?
Why are we still wasting ressources on professional sports and around-the-world travel-heavy competitions in the middle of the Climate Crisis?
I'll entertain their bullshit for 5 miutes when rich people's private jets are grounded forever.
P.S. : One thing allowed me to remain semi-functional and employed 5 months a year in the warm season and it's air conditioning. As usual, Leftists who whine about ''compassion'', ''equity'', ''Abelism'' throw struggling people under the bus and make their lives harder with their retarded policies.
Mass migration, rising energy costs, they push for that, which hurts the regular people at the bottom of the ladder.
Because it's good to have a number of human achievement hierarchies, including the non-intellectual kind. It's also good for people to want to be fit and reach their bodies' potential, so celebrating activities along those lines is beneficial for healthy society.
