Antinatalism views reproduction as immoral.
This article isn't antinatalist.
This article states the irrefutable fact that as certain events occur, birthrates tend to decrease, and that it is not a cause for alarm as individuals and systems whose fortunes are tied to endless growth are asserting.
My wife and I have two children. Not the four of my parents and three of my wife's. That is not antinatalism, it is prudence.

- toomuchtodo 3y agoThere is no need to be salty about facts [1], and it’s unlikely you personally (mentioned because of the strength used in your top comment's language) are going to do anything when +1 billion people (at least) are going to suffer from climate change [2] [3] [4]. The people who said “I told you so” (including antinatalists) will sound callous, but they’ll have been right. Regardless, the system will reach equilibrium.
