Reminds me of that scene in Interstellar where a baseball game is interrupted by a dust storm. Some interesting world-building in that scene regarding the state of the game too.
It’ll be fine, just install retractable roofs on the stadiums (at the taxpayers’ expense of course), and air condition the whole field. You’ll have to leave a gap at the back for home runs but it’s ok if some air conditioning escapes, the taxpayers are paying to cool down the neighborhood!
Who cares about baseball?
Isn’t it like 3 of 4 countries who play it?
It’s an incredibly fun and popular sport and the World Series just ended.
Articles like this are good at highlighting that nothing sacred is safe from climate change.
If a couple dozen people read the article from a baseball fan’s perspective and suddenly it clicks for them, it’s a win.
I’d upvote you for great insight, but can’t support the straight up false info about baseball being fun

You should take a moment and think about the world population. 8 billion people. Really just try and wrap your head around how big of a number that is. Once you’ve sat there for a good while, reflect on just how small your worldview is.
Here’s a hint to get you started:
One million seconds is about 11.5 days. One billion seconds is about 31 years and 8 months.
Have fun and try to learn something 🤙
Yes and one of those countries that does care about baseball is very naughty when it comes to its climate change contributions though. It can still be potent to tune the threat for whatever will motivate your target. For instance, the British would be stirred to action vigorously if you threatened to take away their tea and thinly veiled class system.
