11% of childless adults say climate change is a “major reason” they don’t currently have children, while 15% say it is a “minor reason.”
Childless Hispanic adults are especially likely to say climate change has factored into their reproductive decisions, at 41%.
For some childless adults, climate change looms large when they consider whether or not to reproduce. According to recent Morning Consult data, 11 percent of that group say climate change is a “major reason” they do not currently have children, and 15 percent say it plays a minor role.
While climate change was among the least-cited reasons for those who do not currently have children (behind financial, political and career concerns, among others), the fact that it comes to mind for a quarter of respondents underscores the fact that its impacts are becoming increasingly visible to the public.
Childless Hispanic respondents were especially likely to say their concern for climate change has impacted their plans, with 41 percent saying it is a major or minor reason they don’t have children. Thirty percent of Black respondents and 23 percent of whites said the same.
This demographic breakdown largely mirrors responses to another poll asking respondents how much of a role climate change has played in recent natural disasters; Black and Hispanic respondents to that survey were especially likely to say climate change contributed substantially to events like the ongoing wildfires scorching the West Coast.

Climate change and the women these days look pathetic.
It used to be a couple of glasses of wine that influenced those decisions the most.
“They just don’t want to change their lifestyle to accommodate children.”
It’s not a bad thing for couples to not want to have children, but I can see them giving a reason other than saying they just don’t want children.
I and my wife have four by the way.
I agree. I don’t want those nut job snowflakes making more of the dependent and entitled class
Reminds me of that movie “Idiocracy”
TOO HOT yo follow Jesus!!!
Having children is the only way some of these liberals will become conservative. So this is a bad thing.
I don’t believe it.
