How are professional athletes adapting to extreme heat? - BBC News

The last Olympics in Tokyo were one of the hottest on record, with more than a hundred athletes suffering heat-related illnesses.
To avoid a similar situation at the Paris Olympics this summer, more and more athletes are adopting heat-training strategies to get ahead of the competition.
Qasa Alom, from the BBC’s Climate Question podcast, has been to meet one of them - Phil Sesemann.

    So, us humans are pretty good at heat adaptation, relatively speaking. Our crops, fish stocks and other species we depend on are in a lot more trouble. In S1E5 of "Extrapolations," the whole Indian subcontinent appears to have shifted most activities to nighttime because of frequently lethal daytime temperatures. That's doable for some human activities, as is living underground, but again the really major problem is food production. We can adapt - up to a point. We MUST slow (and then stop and then, hopefully, reverse) the warming before it gets beyond that point.

And anyone who has been around for any amount of time knows the exact same environmental bullshit has been going on for decades. Yet the same poeple who claim the earth will be flooded by melting ice seem to buy homes on beaches next to the ocean. There are literally thousand year old baths at sea level in Rome, that are exactly the same as they have been for thousands of years. The climate change propoganda is about control.

My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million, and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news.

    Truth is they aren't, because the heat isn't literal anymore. Used to be temperature, now it's getting canceled over long-standing cultural traditions, like a victory kiss. So glad I never became an Athlete, would've sucked to see my career go down the drain over petty bs just becahse everyone wants to be a brainless moron these days, on BOTH sides. Only situation where both sides are at fault ngl, but man is it a fault. I think of this stuff these days, and I just see Butters, from South Park, getting jailed for pinching people who aren't wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, this is literally what the world has come to, Culture only matters if you're brown or your culture doesn't offend stupid people, and ngl, it's about time we had a right proper push back against such idiocy, it's not Cancel Culture (when you're fired for actually doing something wrong), it's Culture Canceling (when your very culture itself is being canceled because it offends someone with delicate sensibilities for some arbitrary reason), and we MUST stop it before it ruins the whole world, all of our diversity, and leaves us stranded in uniformity and compliance, where you need consent to even take a shit.
