Climate Change an ‘Existential Threat?’ Not at the Paris Olympics.

USA Today reports that the US Olympics team will be supplied with room air conditioning units, joining other countries like Germany, Australia, the UK, Canada, and Italy. Organizers of the Summer Olympics Games to be held in Paris next month were hoping to force the games to be held sans air conditioning - what a wonderful virtue signal that would send to the climate alarmed public!

The plan was to force all event venues and athlete housing to rely on a geothermal cooling system devised by the French, but you know, it can get hot in Paris in the summer, and participating athletes and countries had some concerns about it. So, despite the grand, centrally planned net-zero initiatives financed by trillions of debt-funded dollars and euros and pounds, many countries are planning to keep their athletes calm, collected, and properly cooled with electricity-hogging room a/c units.

Note that the list of countries above includes some that are led by the world’s most aggressive and notorious climate scolds. German leaders in this century have succeeded in largely destroying what had been the industrial powerhouse of Europe at the altar of climate alarmism, investing billions of debt-funded euros in a Quixotic attempt to power their society with windmills. That plan has been so successful to date that last winter, in a desperate attempt to avoid power blackouts, the government there resorted to reactivating mothballed coal plants and tore down a wind development to expand a domestic coal mining operation.
