When the fires from Canada blanketed New York City in smoke last month, my partner and I tried to have sex in the early evening. But the terrible air quality outside made us shallow-breathed and racked by coughing fits in the orange light. Our lungs have been the subject of much neurosis for the last three years in a pandemic deeply intertwined with climate change, and when we finally caught the virus eight months before the smoke came, we each developed a cough that wouldn’t leave us.
In climate change, we face an unimaginable threat to humanity. As humans do, however, we’re living through it: We’re working, we’re cooking dinner, we’re seeing friends, and we’re having sex. But sex is changing. Birth rates are down, and some people who are forgoing parenthood cite climate change as a factor.
There is alarming evidence that climate change both directly and indirectly impacts our sexual health, including due to increased gender-based violence or disruptions in sexual or reproductive services because of extreme weather. There also exists a body of writing on the logistics of climate change and sex: It’s getting hotter, so sex might become a more uncomfortable, sweatier affair. But a thornier question, perhaps, is to ask how intimacy is changing in the face of impending doom. How is desire affected when the world as we know it seems to be ending in front of our eyes?

She's full of NYC crap, but she's probably being honest about her and her partner's high neurosis levels. The East coast urban intelligentsia and their satellite enclaves elsewhere in the US make an art of acquiring neuroses and compounding the interest.
So, liberals are claiming global warming is causing more women to be ugly liberals?
It's good that these neurotics are self-extinguishing themselves.
And sex is changing? I don't think so. Nothing new under the sun, especially as to sex.
They definitely write their own rules
really long article.
Welcome to a summer in Northern California. We moved up here to get away from some of the lib madness. (My wife refuses to leave CA).
California does NO forest cleanup, too many environmentalists I suppose. Every summer we have weeks of orange and brown sky as hills burn. EVERY SUMMER!!!
i see a lot of fat couples,with fat kids, so i assume they have figured out sex.
These people are so amusing.
Will it lessen the amount of homo sex? The incidence of sleeping around in middle school? The number of illegitimate kids?
This article struck me as something that could have been written by Greta Thunberg or Al Gore...or others of similar ilk.
“In climate change, we face an unimaginable threat to humanity.”
GFY
It’s just so hard for me to believe there’s someone out there who would look at her and feel “Mmmmmm! I needs me some of that mousey flat hair lib mashed potatoes girly with the pre-teen boy body!! Yummmmayy!”
The only effect it has on me is to raise my blood pressure when the likes of miss Sunshine talk about it.
These people are making the Babylon Bee less relevant by the day.
Look at that couples face. She looks like a political prisoner. Zero life or joy in those eyes. A perfect example of a generation of western women.
Ridiculous propaganda
Yeppers 👍
OTOH, she’s really stylish in that lobster 🦞 bib.....🤣😁😜😆😁😃😁😆😅😂
The spread of the fires is due to forest mismanagement.
However, they were started by climate change cultists.
Let me know when the weather never changes, and I’ll question what’s up. Otherwise, these are all normal variations.
