Your Fault: ‘Climate Change’ Is Messing With Semen Or Something

Hey, now, we have a new one from the Cult of Climastrology

Your semen is not immune to climate change

The first piece of the puzzle was Gustavo Luis Verón’s research during his PhD studies, when he analyzed semen quality based on different factors in Argentina. Obesity, age and climatic factors were some of the variables that he investigated. At the end of 2021, the results showed that semen samples generated in the winter were noticeably better quality than those generated in the summer. This information got him obsessed with another question: Could increasing heat waves be putting male fertility in check? The latest findings by Verón and his colleagues seem to indicate so. According to a study published this year in Science Direct, semen samples obtained during heat waves presented 10% fewer motile sperm — the only ones capable of fertilizing an egg — than samples that were never exposed. The high temperatures also affected their morphology.

For Dr. Mónica Vázquez-Levin, principal researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (Conicet) and another one of the authors of the report, given the frequency and intensity of these weather events, “the climate will eventually be a variable for planning parenthood.” (snip)

“Historically there has been a very big burden on our shoulders. The inability to conceive had always been attributed to women,” says Vázquez-Levin. Science, once again, shows how wrong we were. About 17.5% of the world’s adults (one in six) will be infertile, according to the WHO. Half of these cases will be due to male infertility. “One of the causes that we already know is global warming. The heat waves are going to have an impact on the demographics of the world if we do nothing.”

Just another in a long line of scaremongering prognostications. It’s really all they have. According to their dogma, if all of them gave their own use of fossil fuels everything would be fine.
