The LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon was cut short for the first time in its history Sunday as hundreds of runners laboring across ovenlike streets were treated for heat-related illness.The stoppage happened about 3 1/2 hours after the start gun on an abnormally sweltering autumn day, amid complaints of insufficient water for more than 35,000 runners who had come from around the world to compete in one of its pre-eminent marathons.One runner, a 35-year-old Michigan police officer, died after collapsing in the race's 19th mile, but it was not clear whether the death was heat-related....
There is a lot at stake here. Scientists don't 'make up' priorities in their research simply because they want to scare the public or have money thrown at them for their research. They are ethnical people whom are exceptionally well invested in research they perform. The science surrounding the issue of Human Induced Global Warming is decades old. It tells a sad and threatening story for species on Earth including homo sapien.
Humans are not exempt this time. Humans have been able to overcome nature and it's threat to survival with extraordinary grace and agility. They have done it so well, that now the very nature of a benevolent Earth is failing and they may be running the race of their lives. Literally. One death in this race is attributable and many exhausted runners now know the REALITY of Human Induced Global Warming.
Yesterday was October 7th and the temperatures during The La Salle Bank Chicago Marathon were in the 80s Fahrenheit.
