My kids won't have this problem. Given the circumstances that have been obvious for 40-50 years I made the best and most responsible parenting decision possible. I didn't have any.

But now your responsible, climate-concerned genes have been removed from the gene-pool.

Friends/acquaintances with young children always want to know why my wife and I chose not to have kids. I get very dirty looks when my first answer is "there are already too damn many people in the world as it is"

The economists are the worst. "Don't you know, we need children to fund your retirement! Economies need a growing population!"

Yeah, fuck off. That's not sustainable and you know it. We're going to need to figure out how to make shrinking populations work.

People living near the equator are still having kinds, and those families will need to move somewhere when things get too bad there. They will come and replace the family you didn’t have when it comes time for the great food wars.

Yes, thus the choosing not to have kids.

HOLY SHIT GLOBAL WARMING IS OUTTA HAND
