This is a pretty incredible study, finding that within 30 years, only ten of the past 19 host cities would have a climate able to host a Winter Olympics. It is clear that those winter sports I love are in danger.
But more to the point - outside the scope of this topic - this means, that because of climate change millions of people are in danger of dying from famine, catastrophic weather events, lack of drinking water, and dislocation from homes due to a rise in sea levels.
So of course, support Protect Our Winters (POW) and other similar organizations, but know they are the canaries in the mine, the real horrific devastation comes after we can't enjoy nordic or downhill skiing.
