Is it possible just to enjoy a long-cherished international sports tradition without injecting climate scareporn into the mix? Apparently not so for the Gaia-worshipping sub-optimal intellects at The Washington Post.
Post reporters Janice Kai Chen, Nick Kirkpatrick and Júlia Ledur apparently forgot it was winter when they collectively blurted out the following headline February 2, “Climate change is making the Winter Olympics harder to host.”
Kicking the doom-mongering into high gear, the authors cried that “Even with the intervention of machine-made snow, climate change will substantially shrink the number of locations able to host the Games.”
The 2026 games, which are being held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, are being threatened by warmer temperatures, kvetched the Post reporters. “With the weather too warm to make snow during the day, the machines had to run at night to create enough snow for the upcoming competitions,” in the weeks leading up to the games, they exclaimed.
But — and this may be news to The Post fanatics — climate and weather have a tendency to be very unpredictable.

Oh noes. Too hot?
I’m not in Italy, I’m in New England. I’ve got two feet of snow on the ground and for the past month I feel like I’ve had more time with negative temperatures than I have with above freezing temperatures. It’s been a pretty brutal winter so far as far as I’m concerned. I’d pay to have a little more Global Warming.
Hopefully they are among the hordes of lefty Washington Post libs that just got their pink slips.
See, see?!!
That’s why we need Greenland!
Has climate gone up 1F yet?
That’s a killer in my home.
Yet another reason why the Washington Post is going out of business.
I'm in the Mid Atlantic and we are experiencing the longest deepest cold snap I can ever remember.
Hey, 300 people are to be let go today, I understand…
One must keep in mind that the only reason one would find a mere journalist in any STEM class is that they’re emptying the trash.
Almost every single Winter games they have, there’s hang-wringing about having enough snow... or the right kind of snow... or cold enough temps...
Apparently, they think we forget... or are too young to recall these things.
This article is a perfect example of a group of reporters trying to justify their existence. They all work the “Climate Change” beat at the WaPost. If there isn’t real news, they have to create it to generate content. They all are perfect candidates for the layoffs that Bezos just announced at the Post. So we get silly stories like this where they find some locations that are experiencing mild winters and blow it up into a “we aren’t going to have a Winter Olympics anymore” story.
Here in Indy it hasn’t gotten above freezing in over two weeks.
It was 25 degrees in Florida last week- could’ve held them there
WaPo is looking to layoff a bunch of deadwood to reduce costs. We have three good candidates right here.
I’ll be there in two weeks for the NFL combine. Please heat it up!!!
If they want to hold it here, there’s still some snow on the ground.
Trump’s fault!
Sounds like they haven’t released enough fake news reporters yet🤷🏼♂️
