Does climate change make it immoral to have kids?
Dave Bry
The decision whether or not to have a child is one of the bigger ones a person will make in life – often the biggest.
I needed some strong convincing from my wife when it came time for us to make it. Most of my reluctance was self-interested: I liked my life well enough, and I didn’t want to change it. My wife talked about feeling a biological imperative, which I had no answer for. Who was I to stand in the way of something like that? I signed on.
But there is a whole other potential person to consider, too – the new life that you are bringing into the world without asking first.
It’s not really fair. For while the world is a wonderful place, one we humans have made nicer for ourselves with wonderful inventions like books and record players, penicillin and pizza, it’s also a really awful place, one we’ve ravaged with deforestation and smog, nuclear weapons and mountains of pizza delivery boxes and other garbage.
The awfulness seems to be getting worse, especially now that climate change has sped up – sea level rise that was supposed to take centuries has recently been projected as taking just decades. This complicates the already difficult decision of whether to have a kid.

Being a damn moron makes it immoral to propagate.
Don’t worry.
The “believing in global warming” gene is most likely recessive anyway.

Even if, for sake of argument, sea levels rise and all that, what’s their point?? Seems to me if that happens, that mankind will adapt and move away from the coasts. Some parts of big coastal cities might have to be abandoned. Does that mean that this is the literally the end of the world???
And I don’t really believe in global warming. Just saying, for sake of argument, if the liberals are right, is that really an extinction level event, in and of itself????
yes, if you believe in climate change you should NOT have kids
(that oughtta throw a little chlorine into the gene pool)
They're the last of their kind.
The "overpopulation" idiots of the 70s grown old. And childless.
Since they didn't reproduce, they have to import room temperature IQ people into the country to try to maintain political dominance.
You won't find them in Mexico or India trying to convince the locals to abort themselves.
**Does climate change make it immoral to have kids?**
NO!
No, but being a Liberal does.
I personally think having kids will increase our carbon footprint, and that's *great* because more CO2 in the atmosphere will make more trees.
More kids, more trees. More kids swinging from trees.
I like it.
No, no it does not.
Does climate change make it immoral to have kids?
only if you are a liberal ...
If liberals believe it’s immoral to have kids because overpopulation causes global warming then it’s their duty to self-terminate.
God creates climate change and He Loves kids....live it up!!!
The unholy priests of Climatism whould prefer zero or only one child. Sacraments to the nature god of diminished humanity will also accept human sacrifice from abortion clinics.
This guy truly thinks he is the only parent in the world.
When I got married we just had kids.
Period.
No discussion.
.
If you think it does, you probably shouldn’t have children because you’ll make them crazy.
cant these people find ANY other animal or insect that there’s too many of and pick on them. Roaches, rats, deer in some places, geez.
actually you will. A lot of your tax money is used to pressure poor countries into legalizing birth control/population constrol, abortion, divorce and the gay agenda.
as for low IQ: in 1910, the eugenicists including Margareet Sanger were lamenting the low IQ of the Irish and Jewish immigrants who were living in the slums. Guess what? The kids of the immigrants grew up better nourished so the IQ's went up 20 points...
