They seemed to have narrowed it down to just about everything.

 

Glad, I'm in Thailand.  I'm surprised this problem just gets the odd headline now and then.

 

Worrying also because it is an indicator of greater morbidity.

Reducing human population numbers is a good thing. There are at least 10 times more people on the planet than there should be and this appears to be mother nature's way of fixing the problem.

 

Asian and African countries with their huge birth rates are particularly guilty.

That's true.  But mother nature you say?  The problem implies we are being poisoned in some way.

May be low sperm count is down to Global Warming?     If not kept at the correct temperature sperm will die.

If there are poisons then it must be man who put them there. So nature is balancing that out by reducing the number of people.

Uh, nothing necessarily to be glad about.  It's just that the science in Thailand is decades behind.  With the lax food and environmental standards here, I wouldn't be surprised if the Thai situation is actually worse.

Don't follow your reasoning.  This is happening now in the west, whereas it is not a problem elsewhere.
