The U.S. Olympic team is one of a handful that will supply air conditioners for their athletes at the Paris Games in a move that undercuts organizers’ plans to cut carbon emissions.
U.S. Olympic and Paralympic CEO Sarah Hirshland said Friday that while the U.S. team appreciates efforts aimed at sustainability, the federation would be supplying AC units for what is typically the largest contingent of athletes at the Summer Games.
“As you can imagine, this is a period of time in which consistency and predictability is critical for Team USA’s performance,” Hirshland said. “In our conversations with athletes, this was a very high priority and something that the athletes felt was a critical component in their performance capability.”
The Washington Post reported earlier this month that Germany, Australia, Italy, Canada and Britain were among the other countries with plans to bring air conditioners to France.
Lmfao that’s your argument?? It’s in “not even wrong” territory, literally what on earth are you talking about lol
Coal pollution is also higher now than when renewable energy was first invented, therefore renewables wouldn’t help us! /s
this is an appeal to ridicule. it is not a rebuttal
I said more than that, your “rebuttal” isn’t a rebuttal either, it’s word vomit and an appeal to futility.
If you’re trolling, then 10/10
it is not appeal to futility, it’s an appeal for an effective solution.
I don’t know if that’s true, but if it is, then you’ve almost reached the right conclusion. I wouldn’t say “wouldn’t”, I would say “haven’t”.
Lol you’re fucking hilarious, I thought the self-professed communist would appreciate advocating for a better system but it turns out you’re just a goofball
I want a better system, but I don’t believe buying beans helps me get there
Thankfully, facts are true whether you believe them or not.
it hasn’t decreased the industrys impact yet
Lol

You have made no points to refute, and ridicule is how you handle low effort trolls.
