Climate change. Is there anything it can’t do? It causes wildfires in California. It both causes snow in the south and means we’ll never see another snowy winter again. It makes insurance rates skyrocket.
Even the NFL isn’t safe from climate change.
According to TIME, anyway:
How climate change is affecting the NFL: https://t.co/Bfy7dqb1qY

Let’s see what they write:
If you were among the 68,500 fans in the stands to watch the National Football League’s (NFL) San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 6, 2024, you could be forgiven for forgetting that football is a fall and winter sport. Temperatures at game time that day peaked at 98°F—hot enough that the 49ers swapped out their uniforms, switching from red jerseys and gold pants to red jerseys and white pants, to reflect more heat away. ‘Hopefully [that] helps a little,’ 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan told ESPN before the game.
The two teams got through the day without serious injury, but athletic exertion in extreme heat can be dangerous—even deadly. Players are at risk of heat exhaustion, characterized by symptoms including faintness, dizziness, fatigue, weak or rapid pulse, and low blood pressure; and heat stroke, with symptoms including high core body temperature, change in mental or emotional state, racing heart rate, rapid breathing, nausea, and headache. In extreme cases, excessive heat can lead to organ damage, heart failure, and death.

Yes. Do this in February. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to put on my parka to go outside BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT GLOBAL WARMING.

This is what happens when you have a “climate beat” reporter who simply HAS to have content to earn their paycheck, so they gin up some story on their beat that relates to some current event of popular interestCompletely contrived

That is also climate change, of course.

“What picture should we use with the ‘global warming is affecting the NFL story?”
“Use a player who’s sweating in Miami… never been hot there before.” https://t.co/jlv4eV2pi9

‘What should we do for the opener?’
‘Talk about a game in Arizona. It’s hot there.’
‘Brilliant!’
