Act with humanity. Simply question the Youth Olympic Games.

Approved in July 2007 by the International Olympic Committee, the inaugural 2010 Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will be followed by the 2012 Winter YOG, 2014 Summer YOG, 2016 Winter YOG ... and so on ...  in alternate years to the current "Professional" Olympic Games.

Wait a minute. Not so fast.  Consider that at this time, it goes against common sense for humanity to accept further International Olympic Committee global events at the moment we seek to protect our children by reducing carbon emissions.

The Youth Olympic Games would sensibly be launched in global celebration once we have resolved the risk of climate change.
