Global warming => males only!
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

According to an article from The Times an ancient type of reptiles might disappear, as climate change will turn all of them into males:
Only males will be born in nests where the eggs have been kept at temperatures of 22.25C (72.05F) whereas females are guaranteed only at temperatures lower than 22.1C.

I've heard it's the other way round with humans - because of pollution, in some communities, less and less baby boys are being born, although:
Normally, and with remarkable consistency around the globe, 106 boys are born for every 100 girls; the excess is thought to be nature's way of compensating for the fact that males were more likely to be killed through hunting and conflicts.
(taken from here)
The truth is men nowadays don't hunt that much anymore and more and more women are on the battlefield.
