IOC Decides to Systemically Increase CO2 Emissions
 IOC President Jacques Rogge's creation of the bi-annual Youth Olympic Games will systemically increase unnecessary global
CO2 emissions. The risk of climate change effects all of us. Simple questions for Rogge to answer: "Why launch
the inaugural Youth Olympic Games during this time of risk of climate change?" "What is the harm to hold off and
launch the Youth Olympic Games when the risk of climate change is better understood or under control?"

When Will the IOC announce the Youth Olympic Games in the US?
A few countries, including Singapore, are busy promoting the Youth Olympic Games. The link below
documents cash incentives paid out to Singapore athletes already in training. Meanwhile,
in the US, families and potential youth athletes are clueless about the proposed Youth Olympic Games. Boom
time for S'pore Sports
Along with Singapore's successful bid to host the inaugural Youth Olympic
Games (YOG) in 2010, that (sic) inspired the local bottled drinks company to launch a bursary for young
athletes two weeks ago. Called the Boost Academy, the initiative awards selected athletes, of ages between 14 and
18, with $500 cash and up to $1,000 worth of sports beverages.

How will the World React?
 The International Olympic Committee is selling an unknown to host cities. How will the world react to announcement
of the second set of Summer and Winter Olympic Games in the midst of world debate about climate crisis? To date, there has been no mainstream media announcement of the 2010 Summer and 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games. Why doesn't the IOC remove this unknown for host cities?

Wouldn't the closing of the 2008 Beijing Olympics have been a good time to announce the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympic Games?
Why hasn't IOC President Dr. Jacques Rogge announced the Youth Olympic Games in the United States? What is he waiting
for?

More Science Specialists Needed for Humanity's Race Against Global Warming
 During this time of concern about global warming and sustainability, tomorrow's heros are today's youth
dedicated to the study of sciences. The International Olympic Committee can more responsibily launch the Youth
Olympic Games as a global celebration when future generations have the global warming threat under control.
