The average daily high in Paris for both July and August is 78. Of course, once you are inside it might get a bit toasty with all those other people and the lights. If they really cared they would restrict people from coming to Paris on fossil fueled airplanes and in FF vehicles
2024 Paris Summer Olympics Cancel Air Conditioning Due to Climate Concerns
The athletes competing at the Paris Summer Games will have plenty of condoms, but they will not have air conditioning.
“We designed these buildings so that they would be comfortable places to live in in the summer, in 2024 and later on, and we don’t need air conditioning in these buildings because we oriented the facades so that they wouldn’t get too much sun during the summer, and the facades, the insulation is really efficient,” said Yann Krysinski, who is directing the service of infrastructure for the Games.
So, they will be Gawdawful stifling
The buildings housing the athletes will apparently have some sort of cooling system, however. According to Reuters, cooled water will be circulated in the floors of the rooms to generate coolness.
The decision to forego traditional air conditioning is borne of the organizing committee’s desire to make the 2024 Paris Games record-breaking in terms of reducing the event’s carbon footprint.
It’s expected that around 300K will be in attendance, and that doesn’t include the athletes and trainers and such. How will they be traveling? Unless they are restricted from using fossil fuels, it matters little. Will they refuse to serve meat?
I doubt it was climate change. I’d put my money on cost overruns for buildings that tend to be underused after the Olympics are over.
I suspect you nailed that one Mr.Toad. Regardless of the future hype the organizing committee blew up the government’s skirts, the Olympics is a huge boondoggle winding up with many temporary or marginally useable structures as well as stiffing the host city. It’s getting close an d the organizing committee will be cutting every corner possible.
Damned Warmists! Damned when they don’t, damned when they do!
I’m so happy…we’re saved!
I notice the press rooms and the olympic committee accommodations are not listed as no AC.
You don’t suppose they’re hypocrites, do you?
