The authors of a new study estimate that over a 20-year period, an average of 25,000 infants per year were born earlier in the US as a result of warmer temperatures brought on by the climate crisis
Women are at risk of giving birth early due to warmer temperatures brought on by the climate crisis, a new study finds.
The climate crisis will profoundly affect the health of every child alive today, report saysThe study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that on days when temperatures soar past 90 degrees Fahrenheit , birth rates increase 5%. Births rates are also elevated on the following day, perhaps because labor and delivery continued into the next day, the study said. After temperatures drop, birth rates decrease.
Why can't we seem to care about the climate crisis? 02:12Other studies have noted the negative connections between warmer temperatures and births in both humans and in animals. This large study encompassed 56 million births. Instead of using gestational length records, which could be misreported, the authors looked at daily birth rates, which tend to be more accurate. They also factored in regional temperature differences, the study said.
With the climate crisis expected to bring more extremely hot days, early births could become a much bigger problem in the United States and around the world. This study looked at data from 1969 to 1988. There have been many more record-breaking hot days since then and more are expected in the future, if the world doesn't cut carbon emissions and prevent further warming.
