Micro organisms, plants and animals literally up-cycle nutrients into proteins to do this every day, there absolutely is a process. The world was much hotter a long time ago. I'm not saying climate change is an issue, and there won't be serious problems to deal with, but the idea that we're all doomed or its all insurmountable is seriously hyperbolic. For every arid farm land that becomes a desert, some place like Alaska will start growing tomatoes. It'll fuck with eco-systems for sure, as it already is, but nature has been through much worse than us. I remind you literal meteors have fallen on the planet and half the planet was an ice block not too long ago relative to the history of the world. The conditions the dinosaurs lived in were much hotter and carbon rich. There's a lot to be done with just the tools we have now and a lot of things that we're working on that may help. Rezoning cities for instance making them more walk able or usable by e-bikes, etc, and encouraging people to live near where they work or work remotely at least part of the week can help. Conversion to solar, nuclear, wind, etc. I watch YT videos of third world ppl creating solar powered energy sources. I've seen articles about people developing plants that can be converted into bio polymers that capture 80% of carbon that gets turned into plastic that captures carbon and when it inevitably gets buried in a landfill, its a good thing, because that carbon was removed from the atmosphere and captured in the ground in the course of creating a disposable product. I currently give $50 a month to cotap.org because its helping somewhat reforest the planet, which I know isn't much in the grand scheme considering how much sealed carbon we're releasing but its something, even if its just spitting in the ocean. But systemically you not having a kid isn't going to fix it any more than me. You act like someone won't just immigrate in from a less developed country to yours or someone socially conservative or traditional won't just have 5 kids, and offset whatever good you did. Honestly, raising a kid whose more environmentally conscious and equipped to handle the upcoming challenges is probably far more productive. It will take a lot of effort, and the sooner we get on it the better. Personally, energy generation and car dependence for me are the two biggest challenges to conquer.
