Supoli FAQ

The Paris Olympics opened with rain on its parade, then blistering heat and, finally, a week of pleasant sunshine. As it comes to a close on Sunday, temperatures are expected to again soar up to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, or 35 degrees Celsius.

The only certainty about Summer Olympics weather is that there’s really no certainty at all.

Extreme heat is a growing threat for elite athletes, with cases of heat exhaustion and heatstroke becoming more common as fossil fuel pollution pushes temperatures and humidity levels up. Spectators, especially those those who fly in from cooler climates, are vulnerable to extreme heat, as well.

Most of the world’s cities will be unable to host the Games during summer in the coming decades as they blow past the threshold of safe humid heat, according to a CNN analysis of data from CarbonPlan, a climate science and analytics-focused nonprofit group.

They're also hosting it during hurricane season, lol.

I know its unlikely, but a degenerated tropical storm drifting up to LA happend (IIRC) last year, and the water around the tropics gets hotter every year at an alarming rate.

I've come to realize that people just do not care about the future. 2050 is a long way off. To get people to care, you have to tell them something that will directly affect them now.
