Together with SMHI, SVT Sport has produced figures for how ten European winter sports resorts are affected by climate change if global warming continues in the same way as today.
In nine of the ten places, the winter season is approaching at the turn of the century at the turn of the month.
American cross-country skier Jessie Diggins, with an Olympic gold on her merit list, is active in the global organization Protect Our Winters, which works to focus on the climate issue.
She is not surprised by the results of SVT Sports' review.
- I think it is very tragic.
We must create change.
We need to improve.
It's not as surprising as it should be, but it's exactly as scary, she tells SVT Sport.
"My job is to use my voice"
The organization's goal is, among other things, to limit global warming.
- When you are with people with the same opinions as yourself, it is easy to think that everyone cares about this, but unfortunately it is not so.
A big part of my job is to use my voice and my social media to get people to act, says Diggins.
Several other American winter athletes have also joined the organization, but she understands why not everyone talks about the issue as loudly, even though they might have wanted to.
- I know that it can be scary to use your voice, especially when you risk being criticized.
I have experienced that, how hard it can be.
Has received a lot of comments
Diggins says that she has received a lot of reactions from people who question her work.
- When I started writing about climate change, many people said: "How can you believe in this scam science?".
There were many such comments.
She says she shakes off many comments, but it also happens that people cross the border.
- Every now and then someone says something that is really hurtful and that is difficult to ignore.
I understand why it's hard to use your voice, it's easier not to.
"Sad to see"
Diggins says that during her career she seems to have seen the effects of climate change.
- For example, we went to Rovaniemi to camp three or four years ago.
You are at the Arctic Circle and there are flowers next to the track.
It's beautiful, but not at that time of year.
It was sad to see.
This year, the World Cup was planned to be decided in 14 locations plus the Olympics in Beijing.
It means a lot of traveling.
Diggins has a suggestion for how it could be minimized.
She would have liked to have seen people always travel to a neighboring country.
- I understand that there is a lot of logistics involved and that it is not that simple.
But with that said, it would be so cool to have a competition program that forms a loop, that you do not go zig-zag.
I would really stand behind that, she says.
