I share your worries. But I don’t see how me or you personally not having kids is going to solve anything. We need a future generation to continue our fight against this.
While the right wingers and religious keep breeding like rabbits, I think our personal choice to not have children will just leave us childless and the world still fucked. Having children, at least there will be people in the future that share our hopes and dreams.
Don’t get me wrong. Opting for children is a personal choice with no good or bad answer. But it’s not so clear cut as you portray it, as I say there’s no right or wrong answer to the question.
What future? We have a century at max before the planet can no longer support whatever life is left on it.
Global heating is not slowing dowm amy time soon, we’re literally predicted to have a double blue ocean event this september. Ice reflects the sun, ocean water doesn’t. With no ice and increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the oceans and atmosphere, there will be more and more heating and less and less oxygen as the phytoplankton die.
Arable land is what food grows in. It’s depleting fast and feeding billions of people without fertile soil to grow food, is impossible. And crops need a stable climate and temperate weather, which we are also rapidly running out of, what with the all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and +4 by 2050 predictions.
Let the people who think god and racism will save them have 10 kids each, who cares at this point. They’re accelerating the carbon in the atmostphere and resource depletion massively, and any of them left after the first few waves of global famines and droughts can enjoy their shitty hellworld with expired canned food till the oxygen runs out and atmosphere heats beyond viable levels for life.
But people who know praying can’t change reality, having kids because they think their baby could be the chosen one who can defy physics and magically cure the world while bringing about a perfect communist utopia… lmao that’s just fucking delusional.
What a ridiculous comparison. All people are petrol to you? To improve your comparison realistically: all people and therefore all bottles are different. Some may even hold water.
Your negative attitude is what’s throwing petrol on the fire. Hopelessness leads to inaction and that’s really not what we need right now. We have the duty to hope and build a next generation with the same hopes and dreams if we want any other future for mankind than the one you’re so afraid of.
You may ridicule this, but that’s for sure not going to change anything.
So hang on, let me get this straight because this is just wild to me.
Are you saying you believe that people are not responsible of climate change?
And that each new person brought into this world has 0 carbon footprint and uses no resources?
Or are you trying to argue that:
While you believe in climate collapse and resource depletion being real problems that will be world ending in the near future; you think that people accererating this apocalypse by creating new lives to consume yet more resources and produce yet more carbon, thereby speeding the rate of climate collapse and resource depletion… is actually totally justifyable because one/some of these new people being born might just be magical wizards able to rewrite the laws of physics to save the world?
I’m genuinely so curious to know your thought process here.

No chosen one, just one of many. That’s not a delusion
Your negative attitude certainly doesn’t help anything
Lets throw more fuel on the fire, one of these many bottles of petrol will surely change everything and put the fire out.
… Oh no, the fire is getting worse?
We just need to add more accelerants, one of these many bottles of petrol will surely change everything and put the fire out.
… Oh no
