And I'm embarrassed to say this on national public radio. I was terrible. I couldn't hit the ball.

Did you know hockey players and figure skaters are literally gliding on a thin layer of water? A combination of pressure the blade puts on the ice and heat from friction of the blade going over the surface.

I can't watch any sport, especially baseball, without now looking at it through the scientific lens.

Science and even engineering all over that baseball diamond, throwing, hitting, running. Why are some people better at hitting home runs? And don't even get me started about math because it's all about the box score and the analytics and mathematics.

Dr. B, first of all, I'm just so excited to be talking to another Dr. B. Oh! And I'm super excited that you asked me that question because people talk about climate change. Some people think it's a thing. Some people don't think it's a thing. But most people don't think it affects them. But not only does it affect climate and all kinds of things you can imagine, it actually impacts sports.

And so the given city state will be warmer than what it used to be perhaps years prior. And warmer air actually has a significant impact on sports that involve projectiles like baseballs, soccer balls, etc. And in the case of baseball, the warm air actually allows the baseball to travel faster through that air. And one of the reasons why is warm air is actually less dense than cold air.

And so if you are playing baseball in a place that has warm air where the air is less dense, the speed of that pitch coming to you will come faster. And what comes in fast? Guess what? Goes out fast. So your capacity to hit the ball out the park metaphorically and literally is that much better with climate change because the air is warmer. The ball that you hit will travel faster and further.
