Summary: things will be bad but quite OK still for Californian high earners, so carry on. That is, if you produce "democratic" children. I would agree though that likely climate change is used as a virtue signal for people whom already decided to not have children for other reasons. Such as economical ones. It's expensive to raise children but more importantly, the quality of life of those children is in strong decline, economically speaking. High debt. Low job security. Low and stagnant wages. Unaffordable housing. Needing to compete with the entire world. High speed of change. Political instability. Accelerating inequality. I imagine these to be important reasons. The general feeling that younger generations have it worse, with things getting ever worse, and never better. We lost our humanity, our economic system is beyond repair.
