I think you are mischaracterising the issue. No one is asking the athletes to be excluded from doing what everyone else does in regards to combatting climate change. They are asking for them to be treated the same as everyone else.But also in your mind, not at the expense of Olympic athletes eating a good dinner?
Odd priorities you have there.
Why?
Why should the Olympics (and the French Government, and the private Catering companies) be excluded from giving a toss about climate change?
Should we just fly everyone over in private jets, have all food be in single use plastic wrappers, and just dump all the trash from the 15 million people visiting Paris in the Seine?
No, it should not take priority.
Priority should be given to combating climate change. It should be among the top priority of all governments, private companies/ corporations and individuals the world over.
It's madness you're prioritizing 'sport' over 'the end of the world'.
No society on earth has pressured its people to go vegan and sleep on cardboard beds for the sake of climate change. So why should the athletes be forced to? Why do the athletes need to live up to considerably higher climate standards then everyone else?
It feels to me a bit dystopian when all the fans in the stands are eating meat/diary and sleeping in comfortable beds and with air conditioning while the athletes they have come to watch arent able to do so themselves. And if the athletes complain then we get angry at them for not caring about the climate?? Really? Is that not hypocritical?
