Report: Most Cities Will Be Too Hot for Summer Olympics by 2084

HeadlineAug 17, 2016

This comes as a new study in the British medical journal The Lancet shows that by the 2084 Olympics, rising temperatures will make it nearly impossible for most cities to host the Summer Games. The study points out that only 70 percent of the U.S. Olympic marathon team completed their trials in Los Angeles earlier this year, which were the hottest trials on record.
