Millennials been saying this since we were teens but were told to shut up and sit down

Stop having kids. No, it won't prevent the climate from going to shit. Yes, it will prevent you from creating new victims.

I would be sad about this, but I think I've used up all my sad, and now I'm just pissed. We could prevent all of this, but its gonna have to get really really bad before we drag our leaders out into the streets over this crap. It's a sad day for our species, and barely anybody even notices.

There's so many reasons I'm not having kids. My brother on the other hand is having kids with half the state of Idaho. I'll do what I can for my niblings but I don't have enough damage control to go around

And we're STILL not willing to reign in capitalism.

We doomed ourselves. My pity is reserved for all the species we're taking with us in this murder/suicide for short term profit for the avarice diseased. Those capitalists are by far most to blame, but no one that contributes to the capitalist machine, myself included, is without blame for the effectively permanent destruction of our COMMUNal habitat.

Unless you're an eco-terrorist who has been actively trying to destroy the capitalist machine, the precious few good guys as far as I'm concerned if your goal is a viable habitat for our species at all beyond the next couple decades, we've all been seeing this oncomming train heading towards us our entire lives and done nothing of note.

We can't keep living like we've been living, as gluttonous consumers with 78 kinds of plastic packaged cereal made a thousand miles away in any form AND survive as a species, and it's clear which choice we've made. We aren't willing to live closer to the land, to farm the food our community eats, to live small lives understanding we are subject to earth and not the other way around, so we gotta go so life can go on without us.

We will have to teach that there are five seasons now: spring, summer, inferno, autumn and winter.

It's gonna be awesome when we're old and need end of life care and the younger generations are too poor to help us and too stupid to help us even if they weren't poor.

We're headed into a very, very stupid and depressing future. And it's 100% avoidable.

Umm actually this is just woke and we should have more children for racist reasons /s

This is actually optimistic. They think kids are going to grow up.

Thank you MAGATs for destroying our country and the world.

YES WE FUCKING KNOW

Lol, not mine. Good fucking luck to you chumps living below the arctic circle though!

And people say I'm somehow selfish or pathetic for not wanting to give any possible kids an undue burden, even assuming they are a white cis-male able-bodied person, the exact thing a fascist wants in this nation.

It's just foolish or genuinely spiteful to have kids in this time. Even if you can give them a good childhood, healthy, happy, nothing wrong with em at all, you can't fix the climate.

Shit, just what I want to read while my girlfriend is in labour.

I’m 42 and I’ve been told this like every 5 years or so.

The researchers note that their study is far from complete — they didn’t model climate change’s impacts on fertility, mortality or migration. This means that the effects of climate change in sparking mass migrations and resource wars were not accounted for in their analysis, and neither were the various tipping points our warming world is edging closer toward.

We are the extinction event

Don't worry, they are not growing up
