Why condemn children to a world you yourself wouldn't want to live in?

Not just humans, many animals are reproducing less because of climate change and harsh environments

I've always wanted a kid, but it didn't happen because of financial reasons. I'd rather adopt and help a kid in need who's already in this world.

Then again, there's always the option of being the God-parent to a kid, too. There's lots of options for raising kids, I guess.

Climate change and having children. Don't you think there is a conflict between these?😂 Having kids, you're making it worse

[williamdillon]

There is no way I'd have kids today, period!
I've been following the climate now hard going on 6 years and I'm 57 years old. When I was born the CO2 was 320 parts per million & It's 420 ppm now.

The kids are raised into a world where they don't want to be a police officer, the president of the united states, nor work on the railroad ... ...They want Stay at home jobs with 3 day weekends

Climate change makes me not want kids. It sucks but idk, feels selfish

People can protest all they want but it’s already too late. People might as well enjoy before more disasters happen

10 years from now when everything is the same….will the climate loons admit there is no climate change??

[punapeter]

My son is 45, he doesn't have any kids, or an o'lady. He's single like me. Living alone is less stress, he's discovered like I did. It ain't the climate crap. it's ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT! A Nuclear Winter will take care of global warming kids.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will fly up on wings like eagles; they will run and not be tired; they will walk and not be weary.

What I hear is *cough*(We lack the responsibility of taking care of another human being, and want to live our life out to the fullest as kids ourselves). Wait, who said that? 😂

[brodyerb]

How long have they been saying this now? Years I’m 24 and want kids . I’m done with the Fear mongering BS
