As the Paris Summer Olympics continue, athletes are facing extreme heat with temperatures reaching as high as 97 degrees Fahrenheit (around 36 degrees Celsius). To cope with the scorching conditions, athletes are utilizing ice vests and rented air conditioners to maintain their performance levels.
An analysis released recently revealed that climate change has contributed between 4.5 and 5.94 degrees Fahrenheit (2.5 to 3.3 degrees Celsius) to July temperatures in Paris and the broader Mediterranean region. The study emphasized that the current heatwave would have been nearly impossible without the impact of fossil fuel-driven warming.
