“ I think I may not have children although I do want them,” she notes. “Just because, with all of the things we see going on in the world, it seems unfair to bring someone into all of this against their will.”

Grim thinking.

And since intelligence is highly hereditary, bad for the future of the world. The human race is selecting for the inability to understand science and/or the inability to think about it.

Climate alarmism is weaponized empathy.

Where "weaponized" means motivated to save billions of lives.

Hmm. By your own logic, shouldn't people who believe in climate change be encouraged to have large families?

Maybe they should keep it down to two kids. But there's an argument for going full catholic on the genepool.

Weird how climate alarmist propaganda is having the exact opposite effect.

Not really weird. You have to think very long term to ignore that you're choosing to deplete more than your share of global resources in order to give the future population a chance of a future by not being all magahats.
