Thus, they dropped the protest. &#8211; To me, of course, it feels. If you have some power, I think you should use it properly, says Karlsson to SVT. &#8211; We are very influenced by climate change. We want white and snowy winters. I didn&#8217;t need any time of reflection. Frida Karlsson took the gold at five miles, under bad conditions.

Facsimile: news &#8220;threatening the future of our sports&#8221; World Cup was characterized by rain and bad conditions. During the weekend&#8217;s skiing in Holmenkollen, the trail is shortened due to snow shortages. On Monday, it will be clarified whether the ski race Marcialonga can be held in Bod\u00f8. Norway becomes milder, wetter and gets fewer snow days as a result of climate change. The use of fossil energy is the main cause of climate change. Temperature in Norway since 1900 compared to the average in the period 1991-2020+1 \u00b0 Cammen-like with the normal? Press for explanation Normal temperature190019201940196019601980200020GG to news&#8217;s \u200b\u200bclimate status Why are most years blue and colder than normal? This is because all years are now compared to a new normal. These 30 years have been unusually warm. Most other years are therefore getting colder than normal. Until recently, the researchers used a normal period that went from 1961-1990. During these years it was relatively cold. It is starting to be a good while since the 1960s and the new normal means that we can compare the weather with the climate (normal) that people are actually experiencing today. The normal period is determined by the World Meteorology Organization (WMO), and is used in all countries. In this way we can compare the weather in Norway with other countries and we can measure changes across the globe. How can one calculate one temperature for the whole of Norway? There are hundreds of thermometers located around Norway. These are read at regular times and are collected and controlled by the Meteorological Institute. In some places there are close between the measuring stations, in other places there is a greater distance. Using statistical method, meteorologists manage to give the measurements different weight, so that all parts of the country are equally important: The country is divided into routes of 1*1 kilometer and the meteorologists then calculate one temperature for each route. Then they can again calculate one number for the whole country, for a county, for a month or for a whole year. &#8220;As athletes, we share deep concerns that the climate crisis threatens the future of both our sports and the livelihood of millions of people around the world.&#8221; This is how the skiers started their statement on the agreement with the activists. They recognize the activists&#8217; concern that a large ski event is sponsored by an oil and gas company. But emphasizes that they do not support protests that interrupt ski runs. This was agreed by the athletes and activists: The skiers and activists will cooperate on a proposal for the congress of the International Ski Federation (FIS) in June. The proposal should contain: Guidelines for sponsors, who prioritize sponsors who lead the climate case a call for FIS to use its voice and influence in the climate case, by supporting Fossil Fuel Treaty Here you can read the entire statement to the athletes, and see who has signed. &#8211; We are very pleased with the outcome. Collaboration and coalition have been created that are great and have a good debate in the public on the theme, says Ragnhild Kvist Simonsen in people against fossil power. They were relieved to avoid disturbing five miles, she says. But emphasizes that they would not have canceled the action if they thought the agreement was too weak. &#8211; Even though we are a campaign that is not afraid to operate with disruptive civil disobedience, it is not something we think is comfortable or fun. We don&#8217;t do this for meat. The American suits during the World Cup showed melting glaciers. The suits are a collaboration with the organization &#8220;Protect Our Winters&#8221;. Photo: Jonathan Nackstrand \/ AFP \/ NTB-They stretched out a hand athletes stepped in after a full clinch between the activists and the World Cup organizer. World Cup managers vs activists: These were the battle people against fossil power were critical of Equinor as a sponsor of the Ski World Cup, since the company mainly operates fossil energy, which is the main cause of climate change. Less than one percent of the company&#8217;s energy production is renewable today, E24 writes, referring to the company&#8217;s latest sustainability report. The World Cup organizers say Equinor is a central driving force in the green shift. Among other things, they point out that the company invested NOK 28 billion in renewable energy and low-carbon solutions in 2023. And aims to become climate neutral by 2050. Before the championship, the activists demanded that Equinor advertising should be covered. This refused the organizer. The activists then announced that they should break into five miles for men, which received criticism from several teams. Among other things, American Julia Kern led the negotiations, which went over several rounds during the World Cup. To put it mildly, a hectic time for the athletes. &#8211; We made demands on the organizers, but were very pleased that the athletes came on the field, says Simonsen. &#8211; We really appreciate that they stretched out a hand for us and wanted to work together. It was good sports spirit to go and cheer on them, she says. Activists with Julia Kern. People against fossil power had no contact with anyone from the Norwegian team during the negotiations. &#8211; Equinor has been in skiing for a long time, and we realize that it can be very difficult to talk to a sponsor like that, says Simonsen. Agree with the message &#8211; I think the timing was bad, says P\u00e5l Golberg, union representative for the Norwegian cross -country healers. news meets him in Holmenkollen under the blue sky and glorious sun. Photo: N21725 \/ news &#8211; As a union representative I got that letter. And I think it is fantastic for the athlete representatives in FIS who could do this and spend time on it during the World Cup. But on my part, I wouldn&#8217;t share it with the other athletes. A bit of respect for the job that has been put into preparing for a World Cup, and that was what should be focused now, he explains. The ski association supports Golberg&#8217;s statements. &#8211; What do you think about the message in the letter? &#8211; It&#8217;s hard to disagree with it. I can really sign on what is there and agree with it. So that&#8217;s not what it&#8217;s all about in this case, he says. Green grass and ski runs of artificial snow during the World Cup in Trondheim. Photo: NTB It is obvious that skiing depends on snow, says Golberg. Through his 15 years in the track there have been years of little snow and years with a lot of snow. This winter, the program has been completed as planned. &#8211; But we depend on artificial snow. Without artificial snow we would not have been able to arrange the World Cup, he says. &#8211; That there are good and bad winters, it is, but that the trend is as it is, it is not possible to speak outside.
