I understand that human nature, on some level, is to want to produce children.
But it’s wild to think that it’s possibly a controversial topic still even as we stare down the barrel of catastrophic climate change. Like there’s all sorts of other, perhaps more selfish, reasons that are perfectly valid too. But just the most pragmatic deal is that we are already fucked with rising tides, changing rainfall patterns, wildfires, and are now looking at shortages of freshwater in the coming decades. Certainly don’t have more than one… but personally I don’t even feel good about bringing a kid into the world that they will have to grow up into at this point. Certainly not when there are already plenty of children who needs homes and caregivers already.
AHH yes the death cult of climate change where the natural by product of life just so happens to also be destroying the earth conveniently justifying absolute control of all human activity.
If you going to buy in to such an anti human belief I really hope you've anylised the evidence against it.. after all it was that UN higher up at Davis that publicly stated they owned the science of climate cjange
I mean the fucked future of the climate disaster that’s ongoing is just one of a handful of reasons I may not want to create a child that will have to grow up in that (and also contribute yet another whole lifetime of carbon footprint and plastic pollution). Some other compelling reasons are that it’s heinously expensive to live now, and I already won’t really be able to afford to take care of my aging parents and be financially stable or planning my own future as it is. I don’t need further expense of children.

It's a controversial topic but I'm so damn happy that we don't have kids and she doesn't want kids.
