Climate crisis threatens future of global sport
Climate change will threaten global sport over the next three decades. A report said nearly all sports would be impacted by "an accelerating climate crisis". It highlighted how the weather had already disrupted major events. Bushfires created dangerous playing conditions at the Australian Tennis Open and torrential typhoon rain disrupted last year's Rugby World Cup in Japan. Fires, floods, heatwaves and rising sea levels will cause more problems.
A researcher asked the sports industry to become carbon-neutral. He said: "Sport provides some of society's most influential role models. If sport can change how it operates to...halt the climate emergency, others will follow." Carbon emissions from global sport are equal to those of a medium-sized country. The report author said sport should be more proactive. He said making sports carbon-neutral would bring a common-sense approach to politics.

bnes= I once taught about Global Warming, now it's called Climate Change. What it is is fires, floods, heatwaves, and rising sea levels causing troubles. Say it doesn't affect me. Well, soon places like Manhattan, NY, New Orleans, LA and Miami, Florida will see changes. What kind? They'll see rising sea levels that could cover the land. It might affect you.Learn how to swim. Move to dry land, if you live in low lying areas. Remember Hurricane Sandy? Luckily, I live in the middle ground of Long Island. But I know there were long lines for gas at gas stations and some sold out.It's an important topic, we all must reduce out carbon footprints, What
? According to Oxford Languages, "a carbon footprint is when you emit or send out CO2/carbon dioxide and other carbon components into the environment by a particular person.".In other words, reduce the fuel you use and change your light bulbs to LEDs and reduce your garbage, says the Georgia Bay Forever Organization.
