People said from early on that Sochi was a really questionable place for a Winter Olympics as it doesn’t normally get much snow. It’s on the Black Sea, which is where Russians have their Summer resorts! If you look at it, the latitude looks to be about even with Florence, Italy.
You can't compare a 1950s Olympic temp and 2010s Olympic temp, as if all locations are the same. Anyone with any science knowledge would understand that location, not time, is the primary variable.
Let's just examine the average January temps of four game sites from the 1950s games and the last four game sites.
1948- St. Moritz, Switzerland (-9.5°C)
1952- Oslo, Norway (-4.0°C)
1956- Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy (-4.2°C)
1960- Squaw Valley, U.S. (7.6°C)
AVERAGE (-2.5°C)
2000- Salt Lake City, USA (-2.3°C)
2006- Turin, Italy (2.9°C)
2010- Vancouver, Canada (3.0°C)
2014- Sochi, Russia (5.9°C)
AVERAGE (2.4°C)
So, with 10 minutes of research, I discovered that the average temperature of the last four Winter Olympic locations is 4.9C warmer than the four starting in 1948, due completely to location, not AGW. But this genius, likely spending months of time and tens of thousands in grant money, decided that location is a non-factor in temperature and that AGW was the clear underlying factor.
And the Left wonders why we don't take their “smart people” seriously.
Perhaps this location was picked, knowing that it would be too warm, just so that the international spotlight would then be on "Global Warming". Just saying.
Okay, I'll take off my tinfoil hat now. But deep down you know it has the ring of truth to it.
