The Opening Ceremony just got political — of course — and showed a bunch of maps of what will happen if sea levels rise because of global warming, because we’ve never seen anything like that before so why not use the Olympics to promote climate alarmism:

Here comes the climate change portion because of course.

Yeah … lecture us some more about the environment as our athletes compete in sewage water:
80% of Rio's sewage is draining into the bay where the Olympic sailing event will take place https://t.co/2HxtQ0WyBd

I'm not watching the climate change Olympics Rio opening, but is that why raw sewage is dumped into their water?

Apparently "climate change" is the reason Brazil has open sewage in their waterways. Bummer. 7/

Am I on crack or is it weird Rio is lecturing everyone on the environment when they have actual sewage floating in the water?

And are the people of Brazil who are literally protesting Brazil’s crappy economy as the Olympics begins really worried about climate change?
I feel like global warming might not be the biggest issue facing the people of Brazil …

“We need to curb global warming!” – Olympics
“Actually, we’d really like it if you’d tackle our destroyed economy.” – Brazilians
