Description
The world of sport has a new opponent: climate change. In recent years, extreme weather conditions have forced athletes and teams to adapt in unprecedented ways. From marathon championships held at midnight to oxygen tanks being used during wildfires, the impact of global warming on sport is clear. A world-leading sport ecologist, Madeleine Orr, explores the consequences of climate change for this trillion-dollar industry. Through interviews with athletes, coaches, politicians, and thought-leaders, she reveals ways to mitigate and counter even the worst elements of climate change. This book takes readers through a play-by-play of how global warming is already affecting sport, and how the sports world can fight back. Warming Up offers a timely and important perspective on the future of sport in a changing world.
