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