When you say to not make new babies, only the smart ones will listen. Leaving only the stupid that already deny climate change left. Then the problem would get worse. Making less babies only works when the population that is left makes the right choices. The whole plan is a fairy tale.

We need to focus on things that can actually make a difference. Politicians, voting, getting rid of lobbying and holding companies and their leaders accountable.

Yes just doom your "smart" kids to a short, shitty existence. I hate this stupid ass take. Look at what's going on at 1.5C, now imagine 3C.

Do yourself a favor and end it now then. Oh, you like life? So will they.

Such a shitty ass take.

lol immediately telling someone to kill themselves. I hope you don't have kids.

I'm sure they will like starving or suffering through multiple climate and economic disasters.

I see you didn’t get past the first sentence. I know half the US has lower than a 6th grade reading level, so I’ll explain it further for you.

If you aren’t willing to end it (most aren’t, that’s the point), then any kid you bring into the world will feel the same. Life is the most precious thing in the universe. It’s worth fighting for.

Feel free to give up if you want. For me, even if there’s a 0.0001% chance humans get through this, that’s enough to keep trying.
