Argonne Lab scientists say climate change could impact baseball games, from Opening Day weather to more home runs, depending on where exactly you are.America's favorite pastime is back at bat, but our warming climate could have an impact on the game - depending on where you are.
"The baseball does travel farther," he explained. "Just because there's less air for it to run into, it can go much farther."Bu that depends on where you are - the North Side or the South Side - and what climate mitigations are already in place. Collis is with the lab's Community Research on Climate and Urban Science, or CROCUS. His team installed high tech climate sensors at Chicago State University on the South Side and Northeastern Illinois University on the North Side. More will be installed around the city later this year. The sensors are used to model vital neighborhood-specific climate data.
