The 2020 Nolympics?
Reuters reports from Copenhagen on the latest global-warmist alarm, sounded by Shintaro Ishihara, governor of Tokyo, which is competing against Chicago for the 2016 games:
“It could be that the 2016 Games are the last Olympics in the history of mankind,” Ishihara told reporters at a Tokyo 2016 press event ahead of the vote.
“Global warming is getting worse. We have to come up with measures without which Olympic Games could not last long.
