Climate 2 of 5 Olympics- At this year's games, biggest challenge could be global warming- The Weather Channel Feb 5 short report at Heating Planet blog

The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics will rely on millions of pounds of manufactured snow, as warming temperatures and snowfall droughts make winter conditions increasingly unreliable across the Italian Alps. Scientists warn this problem will persist, as climate change shrinks the number of places that can safely host the Winter Olympic games.

TRANSCRIPT: 

The Olympics are here, but winter itself is struggling to compete. Winter is changing and that's challenging winter sports around the world. At this year's games, the biggest challenge could be the weather conditions. 

Trying to provide great values, you know, under warm jumps. It's gentle. Had to adapt as athletes to be able to compete in these environments. It really puts both safety and fairness at risk for the athletes. 

Behind the scenes, crews are firing up snow guns and pumping millions of pounds of artificial flakes onto the slopes. This is the reality of modern Olympic games. Climate change is going to change [music] the geography of where we can host the the Winter Olympics and the Winter Parolympics. The only question is how much. 

Out of the 93 mountain venues that can currently host winter sports, only about half may still have dependable snowfall in another 25 years. That puts Olympic tradition on a collision course with a warming world. The International Olympic Committee is considering moving the dates earlier to chase colder temperatures. A clear sign the race is no longer just for gold, but for precious time. At some point, it's going to be too difficult to put on snow competitions in a lot of places. And it's scary to think that this might not be around a century from now.
