More than 2,700 people are estimated to have died from heat-related causes during May & June 2026 heatwaves in England & Wales, a new rapid analysis finds Around 42% of these deaths were due to the additional heat caused by human-induced climate change More 👉 www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/n...

Infographic with a yellow background titled: Estimated heat-related deaths during the 2026 May and June heatwaves in England and Wales. The graphic shows a square made up of 100 icons in the shape of a person’s head and shoulders. 42 of these icons are orange and 58 black. On the left a dotted line links to the orange icons with the text: 42% of estimated heat deaths due to human-induced climate change.

I ran a simple model with new public data then used 1 prompt to make ChatGPT guess what the model would produce. With 10 seconds of "thinking," it was very close. The implications of this are catastrophic. The American Sociological Association should do something about this but it doesn't care to /1

Fascinating. Bottom line: Days with maximum high temperatures (only above 20°C/68º F!) reduce the number of male births. "Our findings lend support to the Trivers-Willard hypothesis" – that under conditions like wars, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters—births of girls are more likely.

🌡️ New research published in @pnas.org finds that high temperatures may influence the sex ratio at birth. Analysing 5+ million births, researchers show that exposure to temps above 20°C during pregnancy is linked to fewer boys being born 📊👶 🔗 www.sociology.ox.ac.uk/article/new-...

Quote from Jasmin Abdel Ghany: "Extreme heat is not only a major public health threat. Temperature fundamentally shapes human reproduction by influencing who is born and who is not born.

Our findings show that temperature has measurable consequences for foetal survival and family planning behaviour, with implications for population composition and gender balance.

Understanding these processes is essential for anticipating how the environment affects societies in a warming climate."
