Expensive societies with the always concomitant class stratification will always run into reproduction issues. In short, unsubsidized poor and even middle class people begin to rationalize that, even if they could somehow manage the financial stress of reproduction, their lives are too miserable to justify damning their kids to the same fate. That said: climate doomerism, as an excuse for not having kids, is for intellectual children. Climate arguments aside, such views ironically ignore that man is subsumed under nature. If and when the climate is actually a problem in regard to reproduction, the human population will decline directly due to climate pressure. Then the climate and else will recover, and the population will again recover. In other words, the climate's ecosystem with humans is self limiting and correcting if it is an issue at all. Refusing to have kids due to climate is the exact same as saying that someone else deserves children more than you do. And that's it.
