Global warming will have a variety of effects on our planet, yet it may also directly impact our human biology, research suggests.

Specifically, climate change could alter the proportion of male and female newborns, with more boys born in places where temperatures rise and fewer boys born in places with other environmental changes, such as drought or wildfire caused by global warming.

A recent study in Japan found a link between temperature fluctuations and a lower male-to-female sex ratio at birth, with conceptions of boys especially vulnerable to external stress factors, wrote Dr. Misao Fukuda, lead study author and founder of the M&K Health Institute in Hyogo.

I call BS

They are talking about gender assigned at birth. According to the latest LGBT theology, we have to wait to see how these babies grow up, and see what gender identity they adopt.

We are so far beyond physical characteristics in determining the sex or gender identity of people, that this article is bigoted and homophobic. We won’t know until years later what gender identity these kids will have.

So do we now wait until they are 14 or 15 to mark the appropriate box on the birf cert? You know, once they’re properly(?) indoctrinated.

How does the ratio vary from the equator to the pole, normalizing for socioeconomic factors, etc.?

So what? Just re-gender the birth certificates of some boys as girls in the areas with too many boys, and some girls as boys in the areas with too many girls. Problem solved!!

Exactly. What narrow-minded bigot is even glancing at the baby’s privates, and for what reason? It’s stunning that such archaic, prejudiced people exist in this day and age...judging someone by their genitalia. Unbelievable.

Females are aborted in many parts of the world that considers males the wanted child.

So they’re saying gender ratio among newborns is different in Florida than in Canada? Gimme a break.

This is insane.

If it were correct, we would see more males born in tropic climates.

We do not see this. This is bunk.

The real causes of the changing ratio of male to female are abortion a drug consumption from inception until the end of the child making years.
