How Climate Change Is Impacting People’s Ability to Have Healthy Pregnancies
As the number of extreme heat days continues to rise due to climate change, the high temperatures are taking a toll on our health—extreme heat has been linked to a range of health issues, including heatstroke, dehydration, and respiratory problems. But some people are at greater risk than others: warmer days are putting pregnant people at a higher risk for health complications.
One Climate Central analysis published on May 14 found that extreme heat caused by climate change is posing dangerous risks for maternal health and birth outcomes. Between 2020 to 2024, the average number of pregnancy heat-risk days—defined as days in which maximum temperatures are warmer than 95% of temperatures observed in a given location—doubled in 222 countries. The greatest increase in heat-risk days occurred primarily in developing areas with limited access to health care, including the Caribbean, parts of Central and South America, and sub-Saharan Africa.
“Pregnant women and their fetuses are more vulnerable to climate-related changes, especially around heat and extreme heat,” says Shruthi Mahalingaiah, associate professor of environmental, reproductive, and women’s health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Mahalingaiah adds that, when it comes to extreme heat, someone who is pregnant might not be able to regulate temperatures in the same way as someone who is not. “This is because the pregnant woman’s body is already undergoing vast changes to accommodate supporting a fetus, and it’s harder to regulate and especially cool the fetal environment to a healthy range.”

Just a smattering of the dozens of screeds from the cult. But, hey, I wonder, how did the human species survive previous warm periods? Anyhow, you know what’s missing? Actual data on those who have been hurt.
Mr Teach asks: these are leftists publishing this, do they even know what a real woman is?
Do the incels on the right know what a real woman is?
Since the right-wingers are so concerned about fertility rates perhaps they should read the article.
And yet the third world has no trouble breeding despite those temperatures. Perhaps the “scienticians” were just making stuff up again.
The fertility rates globally are declining. Many third world nations have fertility rates greater than the replacement rate, but are still declining. Climate changes have both temporal and a geographic components, as does the fertility rate.
Professor Hale apparently knows little about demographics. In the USA today we are undergoing a major problem as our birthrate is decking rapidly. Without new babies there will not be enough new workers to support the increase in old Americans going into non productive retirement
The white birthrate is in freefall.
Teach! Save America by giving us more white babies That our economy and culture needs!
“someone who is pregnant might not be able to regulate temperatures in the same way as someone who is not.”
Sounds like someones whose government grant is about to be cut.
Also sounds like someone who doesn’t want women to work in steel mills. Tool of the patriarchy! Why does she think support for climate change is a good reason to oppress career choices for women?
