Should We Be Having Kids In The Age Of Climate Change?
4:36 August 18, 201611:09 AM ET Heard on All Things Considered
Standing before several dozen students in a college classroom, Travis Rieder tries to convince them not to have children. Or at least not too many.
He's at James Madison University in southwest Virginia to talk about a "small-family ethic" — to question the assumptions of a society that sees having children as good, throws parties for expecting parents, and in which parents then pressure their kids to "give them grandchildren."
Why question such assumptions? The prospect of climate catastrophe.
For years, people have lamented how bad things might get "for our grandchildren," but Rieder tells the students that future isn't so far off anymore.
He asks how old they will be in 2036, and, if they are thinking of having kids, how old their kids will be.
"Dangerous climate change is going to be happening by then," he says. "Very, very soon."

Don't reproduce, and you will be recolonized by islamists, who breed like rabbits.
[ These are the same idiots who were behind the zero population growth scam in the 70s.
Don’t reproduce, and you will be recolonized by islamists, who breed like rabbits. ]
Yeah, so they pretty much negate all the hard work they have done and make matters worse, isn’t that the de-facto definition of a “liberal social program” ?
Absolutely NOT for liberals, they should NEVER reproduce!!
This idiot who wrote the article has no sense of geography. James Madison is not in southwest Virginia. Roanoke and Bristol are in southwest Virginia. In terms of colleges, Virginia Tech, Radford, Salem would all be considered southwest Virginia.
But who would expect more from an NPR person who probably has only stepped foot in Alexandria?
Liberals certainly should not. Their actions should match their words.
the only people that feel that way are RATS, and we don't want them breeding anyway
Beautiful. These people should not have kids. They should not spread their idiotic seed and pollute the planet with their ignorance.
And that’s coming from a childless person.
But you gotta feel sorry for them. Their entire childhood, grade school, and college they have been indoctrinated by liars, charlatans, and hucksters.
All decent Americans should approve of this NPR story.
There are far too many insane liberals having children. The fewer of them reproduce, the less harm they will do to the generation our children will be coping with. I don’t want anyone murdering their unborn babies, but I’m more than okay with liberals just not getting pregnant.
maybe one of the new kids will invent the solution to the idiocy of the concept of man made climate change.
We have a relative who is so deep into believing this crap that it isn’t funny anymore.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
No, if you're a compliant acceptor, you're a hypocrite if you have kids. (At least that's my official position since we have WAY more than enough stupid people already. Who needs more?)
One could only wish.
Ummm... we aren't the problem when to comes to population...
My question is this:
Between abortion on DEMAND and gay & alternative lifestyles, WHY aren’t LibTards extinct by now?
I think it’s a GREAT idea for all those climate change junkies.
All the liberal climate change adherents show (excuse the pun) lay off having children.
She is suffering FRom “Deranged Dingbat Syndrome!”
If the people who BELIEVE in Global Warming don’t have kids - it means LESS liberals... We should be encouraging them in this fantasy...
I don’t think the climate wussy needs to get sterilized, as he probably doesn’t use ‘ol one-eye to go go to the Optometrist anyway, as Burgess Meredith would say.
