- armatav 5y agoExcept that’s a biological imperative.
- machello13 5y agoIf the earth's population suddenly dropped to 0, that would help global warming a lot too. Does that mean we should do it?
- over_bridge 5y agoNot having kids always struck me as a short sighted solution (not saying you are specifically advocating for it but there are those that do). One/two/three less people will have negligible impact but if the most environmentally aware people are the ones not having children, not passing on their values, the next generation will be missing their voices. Fixing this is a relay race through the generations, not a sprint for an individual or couple. If anything, the most environmentally aware of us should have more kids than average to help dilute the ranks of ignorant people and boost overall awareness. That would lead to higher chances of good leadership in 2060 and beyond.
