A few days ago scientists predicted that global warming would cause marathon times to slow.
Will Climate Change Slow Marathon Times?
Climate change is blamed for melting ice, shrinking animals and brewing more intense storms around the globe — but is it slowing the top finish times at the Boston Marathon? Not yet, researchers found, though future increases in temperature could mean fewer records are broken.
Today’s Chicago Marathon will almost certainly be the coldest on record, with forecast high temperatures close to 50 degrees.
mention climate get a grant,
mention climate keep a msm mediabuffoon in a job.
hard call which is the bigger fool.
The Chicago Marathon today was certainly not the coldest – temps slightly below avg, and off the top of my head 1993,1999 and 2006 were colder. But the weather was awesome. Finished in 3:27.
Oh, and the course record was set for the men.
“future increases in temperature could mean fewer records are broken.”
