The Energy Absurdity of the Week: Even Olympic Athletes Reject the Climate Alarm Narrative

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 gets hot in Paris in the summer, and participating athletes and countries had some concerns about it.

Last week, we learned that the green dreams of the Olympics organizers have been ditched as athletes and delegations from many countries are showing up with hundreds of window a/c units in tow. It turns out that, for world class athletes competing for gold medals, comfort and safety trump virtue signals. Who knew?
