Eric Holthaus, who used to do weather for Wall Street Journal, was reacting to Friday's findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Scientists found in the report that it was 'extremely likely' that humans are causing warming trends Holthaus said he has decided not to have children in order to leave a lighter carbon footprint, and has considered having a vasectomy He tweeted on Friday 'no children, happy to go extinct' The weatherman also said he is committed to stop flying as 'it's not worth the climate'

His next tweet said: 'Its a very emotional decision. Mixed feelings. adios babies?' According to another tweet from Holthaus, the Dutch artist known as Tinkebell, who calls attention to animal rights issues through works that use the remains of dead animals, had herself sterilised last week for a similar reason. Holthaus, who now writes for Quartz, has decided he will also reduce his carbon footprint by giving up on air travel. ‘I just broke down in tears in boarding area at SFO while on phone with my wife. I've never cried because of a science report before. #IPCC,’ was his first tweet on around 2pm on Friday. ‘I realised just now: This has to be the last flight I ever take. I’m committing right now to stop flying. It’s not worth the climate,’ he tweeted a few minutes later.

Happy is the man who has a full quiver (of children)...

these sad pathetic men...don't they realize that children are the answer?....

I rejoice when I see large families....

I encourage children to be everywhere....church, weddings, stores, restaurants, planes, trains,and automobiles....

All weathermen, politicians, leftwing media and leftist enviro-whackos who claim to be concerned about possible man made climate change should stop flying or riding any transportation powered by fossil fuels or powered by electricity produced by a fossil fuel generator.

To not do so makes them hypocrites of the first order.

The combined reduction in emissions should be almost enough to offset one of Michelle Obama’s vacations (the ones where she brings 400 of her dearest and closest friends along on the taxpayers dime).

If he does something stupid that removes himself from the gene pool, then yes, he qualifies.

sadly, the wrong kind of people aren't having children...

I overheard a young lady dr. talking about just having one child...her husband was equally successful....

I thought to myself...if these highly educated, healthy, wealthy aren't going to have children, then who is?....the drugged, the drunk, the slobs, the promiscuous, etc...

if you can have children, Thank God and HAVE CHILDREN....

Somehow, over the course of the last few decades, the concept of producing your own replacement has fallen out of favor.

Someone needs to kill this guy and make him happy. Of course, we will need to sequester his carbon so none leaks into the atmosphere.

No, they co-opt our children through government indoctrination (public “education”), media/entertainment, peer pressure/”consensus” opinion in place of reason or even religious faith (which makes at least as much sense as “facts” based upon “consensus”), the sodomite agenda, etc.

Wait... I am beginning to see his point!

I urge ALL true believers to get spayed or neutered to save the planet!!!

(this should improve the gene pool a bit)

Well, that would take care of future spawn of leftist wackos. If only those leftist wackos would do their duty to help save the planet by taking care of their own generation of leftist wackos.

If they had their own, it wouldn’t leave them enough to time to interfere with all the people who do have children. Of course, the most dysfunctional in society are encouraged to breed like rabbits on the “government’s” dime (the money of people who earned it and would have liked to have spent it having their own children but had it confiscated by the government to turn over to those “raising” the dysgenic future generations).

“Holthaus said he has decided not to have children in order to leave a lighter carbon footprint...The weatherman also said he is committed to stop flying as ‘it’s not worth the climate’”

In all fairness, it’s probably a *good* thing this guy isn’t having kids...
