HIGHLIGHTS: Researchers at Dartmouth College say climate change is responsible for 50 more home runs per Major League season. That’s because warmer air is less dense, which allows the ball to travel farther.
FULL STORY: We might have to put an asterisk next to Aaron Judge’s 2022 record of 62 home runs. Because he hit those dingers under the influence of a PED . . . and by that, I mean a performance-enhancing DISASTER. (???)
Dartmouth College says that climate change is responsible for approximately 50 more home runs per season. Here’s why:
When air heats up, the molecules move faster and away from each other, making the air less dense. That means less resistance, allowing the ball to go farther.
Supposedly, there’s a 1% increase in the likelihood of a home run with every degree the air warms.
