The document discusses Qatar's plan to host the 2022 World Cup and address high temperatures through an air-conditioned outdoor stadium. While this approach solves the immediate problem of high temperatures at games, it is not environmentally sustainable as the electricity needed for air conditioning contributes to global warming through chemical emissions. More sustainable alternatives still need to be explored to balance climate risks with hosting major sporting events in hot regions.

Cup. But Is It Sustainable? Summary: With the deterioration of global climate change, the climate risks dwarf the benefit of the stadium air-conditioning. Most people wonder how Qatar, a country that is hot and also the host of the 2022 World Cup, can address the stadium temperature problem. The government built an air-conditioned outdoor stadium which seemed prospective for addressing the problem, however, it is environmentally unsustainable. Although it was an awesome thought to build an air-conditioned stadium to tackle the hot temperature problem, the electric grid and circuits still produce chemical elements that pose a threat to global warming. Response: Global warming is constantly destroying our life. It causes a high temperature and climate anomaly which decrease our quality of life. Qatar is the host of the World Cup taking place this year. I admire their effort that tries to be devoted to helping the deterioration of climate change. But there is still a long way to go to find a better alternative. Just as the researchers say, “Although the idea of air-conditioned stadium decreases the effect that climate change causes, it is still good enough.
