Have a beer, relax, and don't have kids. If there's no next generation to worry about, the ethics of ignoring the coming disaster is much easier.

Yes, there's a possibility. I'd give it about 1 in 100 cumulative over the century. In comparison, if I had those odds for an airplane crash, I would never fly.

I don't have kids and don't intend to, in large measure because of the ecological destruction and the obvious impending doom if we don't change our ways. But I can't ignore it. To me it seems like learning to live in harmony with Nature is one of the most important things we can do right now.

The next generation will descend almost entirely from people who thought it was still worth having kids.
