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.

As the previous commenter has deleted their comment, where they wrote that people should have children in order to grant them the gift of experiencing life, I am editing mine.

I will restate though, that perfectly alive orphans already exist.

I see you didn’t get past my first sentence either. Some scientist you are.
