Climate Change and Baseball, Air Density Study

A new study from Dartmouth College suggests that climate change is responsible for an increase in home runs in Major League Baseball.

Since 2010, the study attributes over 500 home runs to global warming, a finding the hosts view with skepticism as a potential "house ad" for the climate agenda.
