Economic reasons, lack of time due to work hours, wanting to live ones own life without the responsibility of raising children, difficulty forming relationships that could end up in a willing pregnancy due to some of the previous reasons as well as others... Are all reasons that you'd expect to hear. Citing climate change as a reason seems unreal.
I guess it makes more sense when you realize the poll was mostly late teens and young adults. People who are yet to experience life as "adults" know it, and are citing idealistic reasons, rather than more realistic ones.

The difference between climate change and the other things you cited is that "climate change" is easily externalized. "I can't have kids because of my unresolved issues I should be working on" implies a burden of action. "The world is ending because other people suck" is a much more ego-saving answer.
