that 500-plus homers hit by Major League players since 2010 came on account of warmer, thinner air — and that, they concluded, was due to climate change. Moreover, they — prophesied? Cautioned? Warned? — that more climate-tied homers are coming, to the tune of 10% of all hit by the year 2100, if citizens of the world, and particularly citizens of the United States, don’t take immediate, dramatic, drastic steps to stop producing, err, that is, stop emitting harmful gases into the atmosphere.
Still, one has to wonder: If 2022 was such a banner year for hot-ness and consequently, thin air, why weren’t MLB hitters whacking away at the homers? Once again, climate change science falters in the face of facts. Once more, climate alarmism crumbles to common sense. After all, anyone who plays, watches or knows sports knows that weather is always a factor in whatever sport is being played. Athletes adjust. Athletes overcome. It’s simply part of the competition.
