Overview

Analysis reveals a strong link between global warming and declining fertility in males, suggesting an urgent public health issue.

Key Points

  • Fertility fell sharply from 4.69 to 2.20 births per woman as temperatures rose by 1.19 °C, indicating severe reproductive impacts.
  • The strong negative correlation between fertility and warming across 195 countries was at r = –0.91, with significant findings in Africa and Asia.
  • Chronic heat exposure linked to reduced sperm count, quality, and motility underlines the importance of climate-related stressors on reproduction.
  • Temperature sensitivity of spermatogenesis highlights climate change as a significant risk factor in the multifactorial cause of infertility.
