As a result, many cyclists end up suffering from heat-related illnesses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, on the hottest days of the men&#8217;s Tour de France, temperatures reached close to 40 \u00b0C, prompting organizers to take measures such as spraying water on the melted road surfaces &#8211; whose asphalt reached up to 140 \u00b0C last July &#8211; and introducing extra feeding zones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faced with these conditions, the Union Cycliste Internationale has already created &#8220;an extreme weather protocol to guide race organizers in responding to these intense weather phenomena. As temperatures continue to rise, it will be necessary to make major structural changes &#8211; such as moving the race from July &#8211; to ensure the safety of cyclists and the future of the event,&#8221; describes the WEF.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Skiing without snow<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More heat means less snow, which jeopardizes the operation of ski resorts and, consequently, the economy of the cities that depend on this tourism. A  <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/2422017-one-in-eight-ski-resorts-worldwide-could-have-no-snow-by-2100\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recent study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concluded that, by 2100, one in eight ski resorts could have no snow at all. However, the consequences are already being felt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Alps, for example, saw record temperatures over Christmas and New Year, reaching 20.9 \u00b0C in northwest Switzerland, which led several ski resorts to close. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these regions, the tourism sector is striving to adapt to the growing climate threats by investing in bike paths, climbing routes, hiking trails and artificial snow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Marathons canceled<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marathons and long-distance races are being postponed, canceled or held at midnight to avoid the risk to human life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An example of this was the women&#8217;s marathon at the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Qatar. To avoid Doha&#8217;s daytime heat, the race was held at 11:59 p.m., but that didn&#8217;t stop 28 of the 68 athletes from failing to finish due to the night-time temperatures (above 32 \u00b0C) and high humidity (over 70%). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the extreme heat, these events have to contend with extreme phenomena. The New York Marathon 18M training series was canceled in September 2023 due to severe flooding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-022-07934-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recent study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concluded that climate change could cause a decline of up to 27% in the number of viable global cities to host the Olympic marathon by the end of the century. The researchers therefore suggest that the marathon be held in October (rather than August) in several cities across the country, in order to protect the regional diversity of the Olympic Games and everyone&#8217;s health. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fewer games and more home runs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In June last year, smoke from Canada&#8217;s forest fires hit major US cities, leaving around 75 million people under an air quality alert. The intensity of the smoke led Major League Baseball, the Women&#8217;s National Basketball Association and the National Women&#8217;s Soccer League to cancel games. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/publications\/quantifying-the-impact-of-climate-change-on-human-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WEF report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the higher number of forest fires increases pollution levels and consequently worsens respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, potentially causing 9 million premature deaths a year by 2060.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the researchers found that climate change has caused more than 500 home runs since 2010, as the increase in air temperature has reduced the air&#8217;s resistance to the ball&#8217;s passage. This represents an average of 58 more home runs per season due to climate-induced warming. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-74a1292c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"74a1292c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1e0fdae8\" data-id=\"1e0fdae8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a002047 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5a002047\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/peggada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo-01-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-12463\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peggada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo-01-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/peggada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo-01-63x63.jpg 63w, https:\/\/peggada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/photo-01-84x84.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Author: Sofia Vila Flor<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71a8adcd\" data-id=\"71a8adcd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6da8a6b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6da8a6b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-small\">She might have chosen to study Meteorology and Oceanography, but ultimately pursued Communication.
