Will Climate Change Make Men Extinct?
Mother Jones ^ | October 7, 2014 | By James West

Posted on 10/08/2014 3:59:23 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The world is warming. The beasts are dying en masse. The oceans are rising. The deserts are roasting. It's the survival of the fittest out there, guys. Who's going to win, evolutionarily speaking?

Men or women?

It turns out that warming temperatures may have a surprising gender bias—in favor of women. That's the conclusion of a team of Japanese researchers who have discovered a "statistically significant" association between climate change—including rising temperatures and extreme weather events—and the birth rates of boys and girls in Japan. Warmer temperatures have accompanied an increased proportion of female babies in the population, and a decline in males.

The findings, published in the journal Fertility and Sterility—reveal that the proportion of male Japanese newborns has steadily declined since the 1970s. At the same time, the number of male "fetal deaths" during that general period—those that were spontaneously miscarried after 12 weeks of pregnancy—has increased. The researchers see a clear link to Japan's temperature fluctuations.

The researchers see a clear link to Japan's temperature fluctuations .. precisely as the financial backers of their 'research' expected.

Shazzam ! !

I hope it just makes liberals extinct.

Pretty sure there’s a bunch of erf first types that would like nothing better. Funny thing is, I don’t see them trying to cut to the front of the line to volunteer to leave early.

Let the grid go down for 2 weeks, and every single woman will be trying to find a good, strong man to protect her.

All of the gains women made in the civilized world, were because men allowed them. Allowed women to flower and attain their capabilities.

Just look at any Muslim nation to see how far women advance under conditions of bestial male-enforced slavery.

Burkas.

And I remember another study concluded the cause was because the ‘briefs’ makes a man’s reproductive organ’s warmer than boxers or neither; thus lower sperm count. Thus the old question Clinton was asked does have a reason.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Well, biologically speaking, the species will survive if that happens.

Reason being,,strictly based on the biology, one male can service numerous females in the manner necessary to perpetuate the species. Not saying anything about any other societal problems which could occur.

I’m all over this if I can personally choose which men go extinct, LOL!

Many scientists believe the Earth is cooling, not warming.

This is absurd!

Why is it always about men vs women - it’s either the whole species or nothing!

Give me a break.

No, but the measures taken in response to the fiction of global warming may make men extinct.

Umm...the largest (and not coincidentally the first debunked) temperature rises predicted by models are less than 4 degrees Celsius in a century. That is far less than the difference between tropical and temperate climates right now. Do we see marked differences in the birth proportions of the areas affected? Uh...no.

Pushing “reality.”
Let the power go out for two weeks, and see reality reassert itself.
