According to Alternet, that august purveyor of unbiased
scientific information, climate change is ruining our sex lives.
Per Alternet: “Climate change is the focus of two articles
published by The New Republic on July 27: a Julia Sonenshein report on the
effect climate change is having on people's sex lives, and a Pablo
Manriquez piece slamming Republicans in Congress for being indifferent to
climate change's effects.”
Sonenshein asserts, "In climate change, we face an unimaginable
threat to humanity. As humans do, however, we're living through it: We're
working, we're cooking dinner, we're seeing friends, and we're having sex. But
sex is changing. Birth rates are down, and some people who are forgoing
parenthood cite climate change as a factor."
The truth is, birth rates in the West have been dropping for
some time now, entirely unrelated to climate change/global warming. Birth rates
are much higher in Africa—and other warmer regions—than they are in the
U.S., Canada, Japan, and Northern Europe. Possibly because people in these
areas are still able to discern the difference between males and females. If
anything is leading to declining birth rates, it is wokeness, with its hyper
emphasis on homosexuality, transgenderism, and abortion rights, a.k.a. the
destruction of the family.
According to Sonenshein, "There is alarming
evidence that climate change both directly and indirectly impacts our sexual
health, including due to increased gender-based violence or disruptions in
sexual or reproductive services because of extreme weather. There also exists a
body of writing on the logistics of climate change and sex: It's getting
hotter, so sex might become a more uncomfortable, sweatier affair."
Sonenshein adds, "But a thornier question, perhaps, is to ask how
intimacy is changing in the face of impending doom. How is desire affected when
the world as we know it seems to be ending in front of our eyes?" Call me
a skeptic, but skeptics have been predicting the end of the world for almost as
long as there have been humans on the planet. Moreover, as is the case with
wars, etc., it has historically been the case that, if “tomorrow we die,” then
“tonight we make love.” To whomever. (As for those who truly believe global warming
boiling is going to
make the planet essentially uninhabitable in a few short years, and therefore
eschew having children? We can mock them, feel sorry for them, or both. But it
is a tragedy.)
Alternet, for some unexplained
reason, also quoted Meehan Crist, who
teaches biological science at Columbia University in New York City. Crist
apparently told The New Republic that climate change is creating an
"existential dread" that affects "mental health" along with
"sexuality."
Wokeism is both a sign of and a contributor to
mental illness. What does it mean when a person is described as “hot…” as
opposed to “cold?” I guess no one ever refers to “hot sex.” “Cold” and/or
“clammy” sex would be much more satisfying, apparently, according to climate
change alarmists. (Though I know for a fact many wives, for example, don
slippers, long underwear and a burka if it gets below 68 degrees in their
homes. Steamier weather tends to lead to steamier attire.)
The Alternet article admitted: “It's
true that wildfires, heatwaves and droughts in California, hurricanes in
Florida, tornadoes in Kansas and Oklahoma, and blizzards in Buffalo existed
long before climate change. But climate change, according to scientists, is
making them more plentiful.”
Pathetically, Alternet can’t even
get its “fairness disclaimer” correct. Wildfires, heatwaves, droughts,
hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards did not exist “long before climate
change,” because climate change has always existed, often in a much more
rapid and aggressive manner than we’re seeing today. It is frustrating when
people on any side of an argument fail to logically process—and
convey—information, but this is a hallmark of The Left.
At this
rate, there is going to be a “new republic” alright. One that bears no
resemblance to the one in which we lived only a few short years ago.
