Global Warming – A Gynecologist’s Perspective

Morris M. Elstein, MD 8/3/08
Global warming had probably been progressing at a relatively steady speed until July of 2002. Little did we realize that a secondary consequence of the WHI study would be global warming!
After the WHI study, millions of women stopped talking estrogen, with the consequences being: higher body temperatures on average, more power surges releasing excessive heat, and more frequent night sweats and flushes. Each one of these “personal summers” increased the surrounding temperature, and looking at the massive numbers of “personal summers”, it is no wonder that the world’s temperature has been rising. Because women in such large numbers stopped estrogen, there was also less estrogen and estrogen by-products eliminated in their urine. Consequently, less estrogen made it into the waterways and oceans. The seas responded with their subtle but gradual increase in temperature.
Who would of thought that one study, reported and interpreted by the press, would have had such profound effect on global warming and our environment.
