The Baseball Bat is in Peril

In case you wondered, global warming will affect every aspect of your life.  The latest evidence of how is on the cover of Sports Illustrated.  The article titled “Going, Going Green” discusses how global warming will:

1. Eventually put parts of South Florida underwater;
2. Affect temperature and the speed at which things like baseballs can fly through the air;
3. Encourage golf courses to use fewer pesticides;
4. Encourage the spread of beetles that eat timber used to make baseball bats;
5. Melt the snow at famous ski resorts; and
6. Make sports venues become more energy efficient.

Since part of my job will require me to be looking at global warming and greenhouse gas issues, I’m pretty excited to have my issue covered in the latest issue of one of my favorite magazines.    Wonder if I’ll ever get the chance to argue for the saving of the baseball bat as we know it.
