> The reason to be a good environmental steward is to make the earth habitable for ourselves. This is why people who claim “I don’t want kids because of global warming” are so incredibly stupid - the earth does not care a smidgen about them, it’s a rock. If they really cared about the environment they would have as many kids as they could in hopes of raising a great scientist to help the environment! What even is this argument? People who are saying they don’t want kids because of global warming are saying that because they don’t want their kids to grow up in a world where the consequences of generations of not caring about global warming are evident. And why are they stupid, exactly? Because they don’t want to inflict potential suffering on their kids? Because they don’t want to add to the overpopulation of the planet? True monsters, these people.

They are literally saying they would rather humanity as a species die out rather than survive and solve problems. And given very few people will not have kids because of global warming, really what they are saying is, "My own genes are terrible so I'll let other humans figure it out." Very stupid arguments all around!

  No, they are saying they don’t want to bring a life into a world of suffering. There are 8 billion people in the world already. Every single one of them does not have to make a baby for humanity to survive. Some people already pick up the slack as it is.

      The world isn’t ending, our time on the planet is ending. Why would you want to bring a life into a world that is becoming increasingly inhospitable for your species?
