    2023 is the hottest year ever in record. Everything suggests that it won’t hold that record for long. Why would I bring children to this world to suffer the hell that 2050 will be?

      Because at least you are thinking about such problems (unlike too many). I thought similarly back in 1998, many records broken since, we’re still here, now glad my children are too and getting educated, to help society get through this. By the way the original post is from Ireland which may not get so much warmer (depends thermohaline circulation…) - maybe stormier, although much (not all) of europe will still be nice to live in 2050, adaptation may include many people relocating.
