I’ve never thought that anyone was selfish or pathetic for choosing not to have kids, but it’s odd to suggest that it’s foolish or spiteful to have kids now.
Kids now will face climate change, but their lives will be better than the vast majority of their ancestors. Imagine if your ancestors decided not to have children because they were worried about food insecurity or warring tribes or sabre-toothed tigers.
Ah yes, the environment being fucked, causing issues with water, weather, crops, animals, is exactly the same as if you wondered off, you might have been attacked by an animal.
Dumbest take possible. Don’t have kids, you’ll spread your stupidity and doom them to the climate change holocaust.
I’m not suggesting that tigers are the same as climate change.
Merely pointing out that despite the challenges presented by climate change kids today will enjoy a must better lifestyle than almost all of their ancestors.
I did. Did you? The authors were discussing a best-case-scenario and weren’t factoring in the climate tipping point, resource wars, or any of the social effects of broadspread climate change, and even then the conclusions are pretty fucking stark. But do go on about natural predators and people fighting each other with sticks.

The earth would be in much better shape if my ancestors decided not to have any children
Lol yeah, cuz an unlivable planet is pretty much the same as a predator.
Suggesting the planet will be “unlivable” is hyperbole. Maybe read the article.

So not “unlivable” then.
Lol. Go pretend to have an argument somewhere else, bud
No you are.
