Study Says Global Warming Will Be The Reason We Have Less Sex

Global warming isn’t quite the hot topic it used to be. It seems that people have put the issue on the back burner for other things. Not that I’m complaining. Al Gore, on the other hand, wants to bring it back. Maybe this recent study will make people start clamoring about climate change again.

A few economists decided to test out the effects of climate change on how often two people come together to make sex. Apparently, global warming is leading to less sex.

From Bloomberg:

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.

First off, what the hell are three economists doing studying climate change and sex? Shouldn’t they be doing better things with their time, such as economics research? I know it’s a lot to ask of them, but someone has to do it, and those global warming researchers are too unreliable for economics stuff.

Are we really supposed to believe the hotter it gets, the less likely we are to have sex? I guess these economists haven’t been to a college pool party during the heat of the summer.

      Based on the variables, the outcome of that equation looks promising. You can trust me, I’m an economist.

        But what about the guys that like a pantless handjob? Friction is in your favor.

    The great philosopher Nelly once said, “It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes,” so I respectfully disagree.

        Actually, colder weather makes people want to have sex more. I read an interesting study on this in my Medical Anthropology class. When it’s hot, people spend more time doing outdoor activities, taking vacations, etc. In the cold, people stay indoor and are bored, so they fuck a lot. This is why “cuffing season” takes place once fall arrives and also colder places like Alaska have the highest incidences of rape in the US when compared to warmer states. Interesting stuff.

        I’m in class all day and I met a girl who was on IBOTD and I wanna see her article or whatever cause she’s definitely not as good looking as I recall.

    Ive never seen an ice cube that didnt melt…why should the ice caps be any different

        That’s because you probably didn’t leave the ice cube in weather colder than 32 degrees Fahrenheit

    I froze my ass off sittin in the stand last winter more than any other winter thus far. That’s all the research I need to conclude that global warming is a myth made up by pussy liberals who are just jealous of our nicer, slightly less fuel-efficient cars.

    Just another pathetic attempt by socialist liberals to try and convince us we need to hand over more control to the government. “SAVE THE SEX!” C’mon liberals, we know that your feminist wildebeests are the reason for less sex, not global warming.

    Well it’s a good thing Steve Holt’s mom is a raging environmentalist. She’s been doing her part to suck and fuck the men of America, no matter the temperature!
