It's not since it can be a great source of pride for people to see their nation represented by their best athletes. It's a display of the best humanity has to offer in the areas of physical endeavor, discipline, and endurance. Reducing everything's value to a function of its consumption of money and resources is a depressing and inhuman way of viewing the world and thankfully most people don't think this way. We're not robots.

It can be done conducting at one place instead of building and then leaving behind infra. See what happend to what was built last time in Brazil and guess how many Brazils are happy to hear what you said

it is much cheaper than holding the same kind of contest between nations in the form of a war.

cheaper to conduct at same stadiums every year

Voting for Greece. Nude wrestling on Mount Olympus every 4 years. Back to basics, everyone should be content.

India has better financial system than USA/Europe. so they are not afraid to kick the monsters out of the country. Next is Visa

During obama administration companies were reluctant to go after culprits. i think they do not deserve our sympathy now

For the past 20 years a politican where i live encouraged people to do recharge ground water with rainwater and now he is out of power.

I strongly belive that change has to come from people.

Reduce your consumtion of everything. Become minimalist and encourage others to be.

Just imagine what western life style for everyone is gonna do to the planet

You are proposing decisions of individual consumers as a solution to a global prisoner's dilemma.

No, it won't work. For every tonne of fuel that you save, someone less scrupulous will burn it for their own benefit.

Only when it’s cheaper and only because we incentivize it.

We’re hopefully shifting away from fossil fuels for vehicles, but in the grand scheme of things I think everyone agrees it’s not going to be enough.

Just think of how we continue to encourage and glorify consumerism, disposables, and trivialities. These all contribute to the problem!

We often belabor that entire industries, parties, and regions are getting in the way; yet there’s no sense of shared sacrifice.

That is, it’s a “do as I say” and not “do as we do”, whoch never goes over well.

So even without the O&G lobbying I strongly believe climate change endeavors would be extremely steep battles.

The alternative, of course, is a Stalinist-style re-engineering and that way is…well, a way of desperation.

India and China have wonderful micro payments apps which means 3 billion people do not ever need bitcoin & co for online transcations or what not.
