Not having kids because of climate change is stupid. You are leaving the world in the hands of people who care less than you.
I'll be dead before then and if I don't make offspring then so will anyone I care about. Y'all have fun destroying the planet lol
That's pretty much where I'm at. I'm not gonna rope more people into this mess voluntarily.
I upvoted because this contributes to the discussion of the question, but fuck you
Well that's rather uncalled for isn't it
But the leading cause of climate change is overpopulation.
There were 3 billion humans on this planet in 1960. There are 8 billion humans right now. And all those humans are producing waste, using energy, etc.
Even if we reduce the per-capita ecological footprint, weβre outbreeding the gains we make.
