Everything is in the title ... the green pipo make restrictions very often without any sense ... but I have never seen any brandish the carbon footprint of Football and sport money in general!
Probably a problem of political courage and real convictions?So the question is simple, what about football's carbon footprint?In econologist memory I have never found a study on this subject (I did not look too much either ...)
Bread, wine, games ... and you will tame the people of the fields ... Is that their thing?Am i good?
ps: beautiful Euro2020 evening otherwise, full of goal it was great !!

And the carbon footprint of the Paris-Dakar?

You haven't read the study on Formula 1 ... That would have answered your question!
CO2 Football >>> CO2 Formula 1 >> CO2 Paris Dakar ...What about the Tour de France?
I think he is at the level of the Dakar ... slightly above!
But above all CHUTTTT !!! Real ecological problems must not be solved ... greens must exclusively focus on false problems ...

Negligible!
You still haven't read the study yourself!
ps: except the monster trucks in the USA which fill stadiums ...

It was provocative the blow of the harvesters, I find that the latest idiot but I don't care, they have to decompress ... by inhaling chemicals during the week and black exhausts on the weekends., glyphosate and fine particles, the winning cocktail.
Monster trucks, phew! Truck races must suck a lot too ...

I just walked through it
It seems to me that in counting the kilometers traveled by F1 cars, they forgot to count the tests and qualifying, right?

Maybe but there are other omissions: it's all the F1 industry shows (from cars to track construction ...) I watched this doc. years ago and I don't believe this is included ...
In short, they have zapped all of the gray CO2 part of this sport ... Not easy to estimate, that's for sure.
The conclusion, if I remember correctly,
is that the majority of broadcasts, according to this method, are in fact ... by the spectators quite simply!So it doesn't matter what we look at as a sport: it is the spectators who emit the most CO2 ... and in Football there is some! Especially if we count the spectators of bistros ... and their beers as a result!
A rather reliable method (I think) would simplify all these calculations: it would suffice to estimate the money generated by the activity in question and to know the CO2 intensity of the participants to obtain the CO2 balance of a sporting event or even of a sport in general ...

In short: the more money, the more CO2!
