Male to Female
Birth Ratio Will Be Affected
by Climate Change, Says Study New research from Japan
suggests that in places where
climate change leads
to warmer temperatures, more baby boys
will be born. In places where the environment
is impacted in other ways, fewer males
will be born. The study found that
external stress factors
especially affect the
conception of male children. Several recent disasters in Japan
were considered,
including the earthquake
and nuclear disaster in 2011. According to the study, areas that
suffered most had a 6% to 14%
decline in the birth of baby boys
9 months later. Ray Catalano, UC Berkeley, via CNN
