  • Wouldn’t it be better for the environment and create less long term suffering to just eliminate humanity?

    That would literally be the point of not having kids. Making the decision to be the final generation. No more humans, no more industry, no more pollution and deforestation. The world would not only start to heal, but heal faster without us in it.

    As you say, Greed is the root cause. And who is greedy? We are! That makes us the root cause.

    any good not having a child solely for the sake of the environment may have is dwarfed by to good a child raised to care about then environment can do.

    If there was any truth to this, the world would be a utopia at this point. But no, because we are unrepentantly Human. There is only one way this ends, we go away. Willing or not.


  • No, you’re just piling the responsibility onto someone else. Hell, you’re even creating them just to do that.

    We know the problem, we know how to fix it. If we aren’t fixing it, then how can you expect the future generations to do it?

    The question was; “Is it ETHICAL to have children in the face of climate change?”

    You could re-phrase it and just ask “Is it ok to keep having kids in a dying world?!” I think the straight up answer is “No”.

    Why would you knowingly birth a baby just to watch it die a slow horrible death because the earth can’t sustain it?

    We were warned about this shit back in the 90’s because it was already measurable back then.

    We’ve been warned about climate changes and it’s ramifications, at least, every 10 years up until now.

    And now we can actually FEEL the changes. And we’re still not doing jack shit about it.

    So ask yourself: Is ok to keep birthing babies into a world not even you care to fix?
