A new report backed by climate scientists and athletes warned Tuesday about the dangers posed by extreme high temperatures at this year's Paris Olympics.

The "Rings of Fire" report -- a collaboration between non-profit Climate Central, academics at Britain's University of Portsmouth and 11 Olympians -- said conditions in Paris could be worse than the last Games in Tokyo in 2021.
