      That’s true. Only time I would watch cyling is for landscape. I love watching Rally also for the landscapes

        Turning it into a premium only service probably didn’t help either. We don’t need pro sports, we need food and water.

          That’s a pretty low bar compared to real problems like food shortages and making places unlivable.

              It’s actually probably one of the least affected sports on the whole entire planet lol. Cycling…the thing that releases no CO2, can be done on dirt, can be done literally anywhere on the planet besides water (the locals in the DRC bike through the jungle). When literally every single part of society falls to pieces there will still be bicycles.

              What a wild title.

                  NYT and wild titles are like peas and carrots. “Cycling” of course is much more than the UCI world tour, but NYT continues to frame the simple act of riding a bicycle as something of a niche hobby or professional sport. You’re absolutely right that it will be the one constant through whatever climate hellscape is unfolding.

                Professional cycling is facing the brunt of chronic doping and cheating.

                Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

                As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

                How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

                Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

                Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
