EXCERPT:

COLBERT: "The temperature is so high in Phoenix, Arizona, that flights are being cancelled because it's too hot for planes, because at higher temperatures, the air has a lower density, which reduces how much lift is generated. Scientists first realized this was a problem when they saw birds taking the bus north for summer. That's adorable. That's kind of adorable.
