so if the governor of Tokoyo is so concerned about this topic and feel the Olympics contribute to global warming, why is his city this far into the bidding process to host the games????
another liberal hypocrite....

All I ask for a a true and honest (if that is not redundant!) of this "excercise" to the American Public. I'd be interested to also know who has personal vested interests in the possible favorable outcome for this adventure, specifically relating to the possible sale of real estate and other servicees should the Chicago Olympic Committee - 2016 be successful.
That's all I ask. Starting to think of the length of time a snow flake or many snow flakes can survive in Hell while I await the answer to the forgoing questions.
When will someone in the "main stream" news business address any of these questions and share the results with us.
When I was 13, I was told there would be no 18-wheeler trucks when I grew up because they were ruining the planet and our economy.
When I was 17, I was told there would be no more oil available to pump out of the ground in less than a decade.
Now at 45, I’m told there may be no more Olympics because of global warming.
I can hardly wait for the next “there won’t be anymore” prediction.
Just have one location in Ancient Olympia. Permanent facilities which would save on agrivation and corruption.
So there’s an upside to global warming.
That’s some bizarre posturing. “These will be the last games ever because of global warming, and since we’re so frickin’ smart about this, give them to us.”
If it’s the last it’ll be because cities finally realize how much money they lose on the Olympics, not the weather.
No track and field records in Chicago will be legitimate. They will all carry the dreaded “wind-assisted” label. So why bother?
Tokyo’s governor is wrong about this. The last summer games will be the 2012 games, because the world is ending in December of 2012. It’s pretty much a lock - I saw it on the History Channel. The Mayan calendar, Nostradamus, alignment of the stars and other factors confirm this.
We can only pray this comes to pass.
“Global warming is getting worse. We have to come up with measures without which Olympic Games could not last long.”
It’s that darn torch, they run it around the hinterlands and then keep it burning for days and nights. It’s insane.

Okay, I’ll bite. If it’s to be the very, very last one, then I would argue that it’s the duty of all nations to make sure it’s NOT in Chicago...it started in Athens, and it should end there ;^)
