Scientists said that by 2100 the snow will disappear and only one city will be able to host the Winter Olympics

Due to climate change, air temperatures in cities that previously hosted the Winter Olympics are steadily rising. If the trend continues, then in 2100 it will be possible to hold sports competitions only in the Japanese Sapporo, according to a group of scientists from Canada, the USA and Austria. Life hacker.

Global warming is provoked by greenhouse gas emissions. Their volumes are gradually decreasing, but this is not enough to prevent a climate catastrophe.

Scientists analyzed data on the climate of the cities hosting the Olympics since 1920. In February, during the competition, in the 1920-1950s, the average air temperature was 0,4 0C, in the 1960s-1990s - 3,1 0C, and in the XXI century - 6,3 0C.

In such conditions, it is very difficult to hold competitions in biathlon, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and alpine skiing. Natural snow does not fall at positive temperatures, and artificial snow melts very quickly.

The researchers emphasized: the number of injuries of athletes participating in the last three winter Olympics has increased by 55%. One of the reasons for this is the poor quality of the snow.

Foreign fans were amazed by the venue for ski jumping competitions, reports Fontanka.

"Hell landscape. Honestly… just lol,” wrote one American Twitter user.

“Nuclear reactors in the background of the Olympic ski jump in Beijing?.. In general, the background and place are ugly to the point of impossibility… What the hell???” — wrote the second.

It reminded others of the nuclear power plant from The Simpsons.

As it turned out, the springboard was indeed built on the territory of a huge industrial complex with a steel mill in the center. Another thing is that he has not been working for a long time. The complex was closed before the 2008 Olympics. Factories and equipment remain in the complex, but the space between them is filled with green lawns with man-made ponds. One of the blast furnaces has been turned into a steampunk event space with shops, commercial offices and a museum.
