When Meera Sanghani-Jorgensen was in her 30s, she and her husband began to discuss having children. They both wanted to have kids, but Sanghani-Jorgensen couldn’t shake the feeling that, by giving birth, she might be doing something bad for the earth.
“I wanted to have a child, but I was also looking at the planet and thinking: ‘Well, what kind of future will we have if there’s more of the same?’ ” she said. She thought about the diapers, the party favors, the toys, and the billions of tons of carbon emissions warming the planet every year. She felt weighed down by the consumption of her children before they were even born.
After much research, Sanghani-Jorgensen and her husband decided that having a child — a single child — could fulfill their desires without putting undue burden on an overheating world. “I was very particular about only having one,” she said.
Her husband died in 2012; in the years since her daughter was born, Sanghani-Jorgensen, 48, considered having a second child many times, but always held back. “My reservation has been exactly environmental concerns,” she said. Her daughter is now 13 years old.
Sanghani-Jorgensen is not alone. She joins a generation of people living in the U.S. and other rich countries preoccupied with how having children may worsen the world’s rapid warming.
The movement isn’t huge, but it has gained widespread attention. According to a 2021 Pew Research Center survey of childless adults, 5 percent of those who cited a specific reason for not having children said it was because of “climate change/the environment.”

Maybe the Libs will become extinct but I think that we will all follow them there
The Libs are always improving their propaganda game.
They have taken over the education systems and turned them into indoctrination centers.
They have all but total control of elections they have cemented perpetual political power around the globe.
With little effective opposition to their rule and future demographics make the tightening of their grip on power a forgone conclusion.
The only hope I have is that future teenagers going through puberty will rebel against their parents and become conservative in their views.

Wow! The gaslighting of the low info dweeb is almost complete. Please ma’am, don’t have kids- because they will probably grow up not able to think and research rediculous claims for themselves just like you aren’t able to do, and will be agents of moronic propaganda such as yourself. Thanks. Oh, and keep living In fear of a slight cyclical rise In temperatures, it’s hilarious.
The irony about my own choice to not have kids:
Leftist men will be easy to pick out of a crowd when the SHTF.
And that’s all this is
The Overpopulation hoax is discredited
On to the next BS attempt to get us to kill ourselves
The
Climate Coup
,,marches on.

I think it would help immensely if democRATS stopped having kids. It would really reduce our bullsh*t footprint. DemocRATS all need to be spayed or neutered.
Without kids, who are the teachers, politicians and CEOs going to have sex with? Think about it.
Seems to me it’s an individual choice. If Meena doesn’t want to have them, or to have only one, I don’t care why. If she wants to impose her views on me, won’t happen.
Liberals: Don’t have kids, it’s bad for the Eart!
Liberals: People will be obsoleted by robots so don’t have kids, it’s bad for the Eart!
Liberals: Wait, we don’t have enough people to serve the elites and corporations, open the borders to all, it’s good for the Eart!
So which one is it?
It’s not “complicated.” It’s a lie.
No one pushes this in Africa where birthrates remain out of control and the population unsustainable except through Western intervention of food and medicine.
Schumer is already calling for amnestying “11 million illegals” (try 30-50 million, Chuck, and you well know it) b/c people aren’t having children in the U.S. and we will need to replace the lost population - with destitute, uneducated, unskilled immigrants, right?
I have two nieces who are Jehovah’s Witnesses and both are not having kids because they think “why bring children into this lost sinful world”. I don’t know if that is a general Jehovah’s Witness thing, or just them.
Where do these people get the idea that having children will affect the climate one way or the other? What MIGHT affect the future of any additional children is the mental imbalance shown by this person believing crap like how it changes the climate. THAT could truly have an effect on any future children.
Woops. Already have 8.
Thanks for doing your part. No sarc.
I think we can all benefit marginally if Climate Hoaxers quit reproducing. We’d benefit much more if Teacher Unions were destroyed so Climate Hoaxers aren’t indoctrinated in Caesar’s schools.
I work with many of the ladies of this generation.. they all have college degrees so it Skews the data. About 20% of those “hate children as their stated position. Another part of them just don’t want children “until it is convenient”
The Bible calls this astorge.
It is a very serious lack of love for family. It is one symptom of the systemic disease.
They are unmarried, live with a “boyfriend that sounds more like a sex toy.
It is like working with the cast of the view.
If you’re searching for justification for being a self-indulgent head case, then look no further than global warming.
People such as this are too stupid to reproduce and would be horrible parents.
Poor neurotic thing should really be in therapy.
