But your (non-existent) kids won’t have to deal with it!
Wise cracks aside, on a more serious note:
Reproduction is an inefficient way to transmit ideas. The $300K and countless hours spent to raise even a single child could reach a much wider audience if put towards education, outreach, etc
The ship has already sailed on climate change. You’d just be creating new victims.
So what’s the plan? Try and “outbreed” the religious conservatives? No thanks.
We can fix climate change with science and clean energy. If religious conservatives are the only ones having kids, you won’t have enough people going into science
I’m guessing, by the way that they responded, that they do not intend to have children. Thus their children won’t have to deal with a higher tax burden since they simply won’t exist.
I agree that ecologically it can be a better move but I also don’t blame anyone that chooses to have a child because who knows when politicians may revoke your ability to decide in the future.
The real problem is that our current way of life is a sinking ship and we’re close to the tipping point when the majority of people will need to find methods of living alternatively. Teaching younger people how to survive in this environment is going to be crucial. A lot will suffer through our collective ignorance until we find a new equilibrium with nature. We can adapt quickly and support climate positive actions or we can prolong it; I think we all know the current direction we’re going. Either way, until either the global ecological demand subsides, we’re just preparing future generations for an uphill battle.
Opting out of reproduction is one of the smartest and most impactful things that the average person can do right now.
The world is an absolute dumpster fire, and the situation only seems to be deteriorating.
That’s great, only conservatives will have kids and eventually every country will become a religious conservative shithole

I value my children’s future over humanity’s entitlement to my child fixing our problems for us.
Sry scro but you gotta step up
Your children’s future would be better if population didn’t shrink since they would have a higher tax burden
Children born today in the United States will have to kill other human beings to obtain food and water in their lifetime.
The world is done giving the entitled and rich a free ride, no more slaves.
No they won’t, stop LARPing
I’m paying attention to the world around me. You should try it some time.

At least that’s what I inferred.
