Climate Change Kills the Mood: Economists Warn of Less Sex on a Warmer Planet

[eznutz]

Climate change has been blamed for many things over the years. Never, until now, has anyone thought it was possible to see it as a kind of contraceptive.

Hot weather leads to diminished “coital frequency," according to a new working paper put out by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Three economists studied 80 years of U.S. fertility and temperature data and found that when it’s hotter than 80 degrees F, a large decline in births follows within 10 months. Would-be parents tend not to make up for lost time in subsequent, cooler months.

An extra "hot day" (the economists use quotation marks with the phrase) leads to a 0.4 percent drop in birth rates nine months later, or 1,165 fewer deliveries across the U.S. A rebound in subsequent months makes up just 32 percent of the gap.

The researchers, who hail from Tulane University, the University of California-Santa Barbara, and the University of Central Florida, believe that their findings give policymakers three major things to think about.

That explains why India has the largest population.

Fertility rates per woman for some tropical countries

Cameroon 4.8

Central African Republic 4.4


Chad 6.3

Congo republic and DR Congo 5 and 5.9 per woman


Jamaica 2.3


Madagascar 4.5

Mali 6.8

Cambodia 2.9

Philipines 3.0

Billions are being wasted on globe warming and climate scientists are milking the sytems. Climate alarmist aka should be renamed as Pig ( "Pig/ Climate alarmist Scientists feeding at the trough")

Man !!! All this research grant must be available to any so called climate alarmist scientist who want to do researches on globe warming. President Obama really want his legacy .. Guess that mean tap is open wide money is flowing out funding anything on climate research.

I bet you if I want to study the effect of climate change on dick size .. I would get funding very easy!
See my next post #5 below... Pumpkins causes globe warming!

PS Don't you think Money spend on cancer research and or spend Parkinson disease would be a better use of Taxpayer money?

Oooh scary! Fed bureaucrats warn pumpkins cause global warming
By Thomas Lifson
The Onion is getting serious competition from the bureaucrats at the Department of Energy, who obviously have too much time on their hands. Jennifer Pompi of the Washington Times reports:

How scary are your jack-o’-lanterns? Scarier than you think, according to the Energy Department, which claims the holiday squash is responsible for unleashing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.





Most of the 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins produced in the U.S. end up in the trash, says the Energy Department’s website, becoming part of the “more than 254 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) produced in the United States every year.”

Municipal solid waste decomposes into methane, “a harmful greenhouse gas that plays a part in climate change, with more than 20 times the warming effect of carbon dioxide,” Energy says.

It is true that every living thing on planet earth eventually decomposes and releases methane. The ultimate solution would be to sterilize the planet, making sure that no life exists. Maybe coat the planet in Roundup? If you are against methane, you are against life itself.

These Energy Department scolds emit carbon dioxide every time they breathe. Has anyone told them? Perhaps they might want to hold their breath. If they really believe this kind of nonsense of about global warming, which has rudely been “pausing” itself for the past 18 years, perhaps they will set a good example for the rest of us and just stop breathing entirely, as moral exemplars of the new utopia. At least taxpayers would no longer have to cough up their fat salaries, perks and retirement benefits that way.

AH but you see PornAddict, the UNEMPLOYABLEs don't want to bring up that little FACT, along with DEFORESTATION'S effect,...because alas,...they would be out of a job,...that really doesn't exist in the 1st place.

Let me translate that into 'fast' again for you.

You aren't very bright, are you fast?
You didn't even check to see if the IPCC talks about methane, did you?
Instead you just assumed that you are so smart you came up with this on your own and the thousands of scientists around the world studying the matter just weren't quite so 'fast'.

You were the ones who claimed the IPCC weren't as bright as you and wouldn't have thought about methane in climate change.
As you said:

but you see PornAddict, the UNEMPLOYABLEs don't want to bring up that little FACT,

Now that you've seen that they did bring up that 'little fact', will you admit you were wrong?

 

[Smallcock]

Gotta ban meat worldwide if you want to reduce methane and deforestation. Good luck.

 

[corrie fan]

I am surprised no one has pointed out an advantage of a warmer climate. During hot weather many women have a tendency to wear fewer clothes!

1ST,...I have NEVER said IPCC was not as bright as me,...this has NOTHING to do with who is "bright", but who has ulterior motives,...!!!

You still have NOT shown were IPCC stated that,... methane has 20 times the warming effect of carbon dioxide.
And the effects of deforestation, for that matter

And IF I am wrong,...I will admit it,...but 1st show us all were you have EVER admitted you are wrong.

That's why the UNEMPLOYABLEs won't bring it up.

But some here are too simple minded to see that.

why are you still ignoring the fact that Al Gore bought an ocean front property in 2010 after he claimed that sea levels will rise due to global warming?
