A startling and honestly distressing view is beginning to receive serious consideration in both academic and popular discussions of climate change ethics. According to this view, having a child is a major contributor to climate change. The logical takeaway here is that everyone on Earth ought to consider having fewer children.
Although culturally controversial, the scientific half of this position is fairly well-established. Several years ago, scientists showed that having a child, especially for the worlds wealthy, is one of the worst things you can do for the environment. That data was recycled this past summer in a paper showing that none of the activities most likely to reduce individuals carbon footprints are widely discussed.

I wonder about Travis Rieder. Is he an idiot, or just pushing an agenda?

I guess that Mr. Rieder has a thing against kids.
If I was Mrs. Reider I would not be leaving Sinem home alone with daddy for any extended periods of time, like longer than an hour.
They both look Middle Eastern, Muslims?
Nope. On the contrary, THEY believe they can’t have enough little muzzies.
Avant guard sculptor Gaudier Brzeska wrote to Ezra Pound that wars are necessary to dispose of excess population, shortly before he died in the trenches of WW I.
That’s because they want to have an army of world conquest to convert everyone to Islam and this will finally bring about paradise on Earth. Non-Muslims having lots of kids would give them an army of resistance, but they keep training those kids not to resist, because “violence never solves anything”. As a result, they will be forcibly converted to Islam and thereafter believe that “whatever violence does or doesn’t solve, it’s fun. Now convert or die!” So really, having lots of kids is bad for the planet, unless you teach them to fight.
Therefore, Irish Catholics and Israelis ought to keep popping out babies like mad, and raising them to be brawlers like their forefathers.
It seems we have a distinct rise in Malthusian thought, population control for thee but not for me.
But why do I love children and teenagers, admittedly in smaller doses now that I am elderly?
There must be something wrong with me!/S

I have a theory that all children are either negatively/positively charged whilst still in utero, the negatives become left wingers, the positives grow up to be conservatives, and I also like some children...since I learned to distinguish the difference. Try it. You’ll find, like I did, that it’s the positive/optimistic/conservative children you like.
It’s the liberals that are drawn to the miserable little whiners.
Both mine are whining leftists, thanks to their college educations. Now that they have children of their own, I can
enjoy them whining at their kids, LOL. Their kids will be conservatives.
