Warming Up - Skeptical Thinker

What this episode covers

This episode took place about a week after the election. We were a little raw, but were able to keep ourselves somewhat on topic. We looked at the book: Warming Up , How climate change is changing sport, by Madeleine Orr. Dr. Orr is a sports ecologist who has spent years studying the effects of climate change on a large portion of the sporting world. She doesn't just cover winter sports, but also discusses how sport will change, or need to adjust everything from locations, to how training takes place to adapt to the real threat of climate change. What is refreshing about this book is the different approach that she takes to find a way to reach even some people who may be skeptical of human-caused climate change, but may love sports. The threats to the whole world of humans is real, and maybe, if we could just get a few more people on board.....
