Is there scientific basis to the assertion that global warming is affecting our ability to make decisions and lowering our collective intelligence?
As we continue to pump carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the climate warms around the world, it’s not only our health and the environment that we have to worry about. A handful of recent studies conclude that a warmer world with higher CO2 concentrations in the air we breathe is likely to make us less intelligent. If the other reasons to battle global warming that we’ve all heard for years aren’t enough to convince you, how would you like your great-grandchildren to know that they could’ve been so much smarter if you had only biked more and driven less?

Dear EarthTalk:
Is there scientific basis to the assertion that global warming is affecting our ability to make decisions and lowering our collective intelligence?

As we continue to pump carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the climate warms around the world, it s not only our health and the environment that we have to worry about. A handful of recent studies conclude that a warmer world with higher CO2 concentrations in the air we breathe is likely to make us less intelligent. If the other reasons to battle global warming that we ve all heard for years aren t enough to convince you, how would you like your great-grandchildren to know that they could ve been so much smarter if you had only biked more and driven less?
