A lot of America was watching today as the U.S. women’s national soccer team defeated England 2-1 to advance to the finals, so Scientific American probably thought this afternoon was the perfect time to drop this hot take complete with #FIFAWWC2019 hashtag. We’ve been told that climate change will literally make the earth uninhabitable unless we do something within the next 12 years, but more importantly, how will it affect soccer?
Climate change is changing soccer, affecting where and when games are played, how athletes perform, and the fan experience. #USAvENG #FIFAWWC2019 https://t.co/N0eMLe9RNj

So Scientific American is saying that climate change is affecting the fan experience today? It’s too late to save soccer?
Guess they should stop flying all over the world for games then. https://t.co/Xf1gwOGHte

maybe we should just ban soccer… all those people traveling in cars to the games, the teams flying there spewing high octane jet fuel into the troposphere, the carbon resources needed for all those lights and tv satellites…

We haven’t seen a science magazine take this hot since the journal Nature confirmed that assigning gender by the genitals one is born with “has no foundation in science.”
JFC ?

It would be more efficient to just list the things that aren't claimed to be affected by 'climate change.'

But nothing matches the deleterious effect climate change has had on the integrity and reputations of formerly serious science publications. https://t.co/LEnRAaPLPZ

Is there NOTHING Climate Change can't do?

Mother Nature caused climate change. There is no such thing as man-made climate change. pic.twitter.com/ZkhMPDUuhL

“Climate change” as in changing from Spring to Summer?
— The Spazman (@TheSpazman) July 2, 2019
It’s called summer genius. If they want cooler temperatures for their kickball tournament have it in September and October.
