    Climate change is going to be the least of the next generation’s worries.

    At least they won’t freeze to death outside in winter when likely none of them will have houses, jobs or access to healthcare (aside from the ones with inheritance of course).

    Climate change alone is an absurd reason to advocate for antinatalism.

      Spoken like someone who has no idea what’s going on. Temps are already above 36°C where I live. Rains have gotten unpredictable as well and that is impacting food

      I can only guess how damn hard it will be in the next 20 years.
